Types of Electrical Panels
There are three main types of electrical panels for residential applications. The main breaker panel controls the entire power supply. Subpanels are secondary panels connected to the main panel. These are often used to house additional circuit breakers. Fuse boxes aren’t as common nowadays. You may still find them in older homes. Some homeowners install them in newer homes to protect sensitive electronics. Fuses still have the advantage of faster circuit protection times.
Expert Electrical Panel Replacement
The most common reason to schedule electrical panel replacement in Natick is to get up to code. Many homes in Massachusetts have a 110-volt panel since that was the standard for a very long time. In 2020, the National Electrical Code (NEC) modified how we install panels. One of the changes was that a 240-volt panel is now the standard, and all new homes are now built with them.
Another consideration is amperage. The NEC requires at least 100 amps. You’ll find as low as 60-amp panels in older homes. A 150-amp panel is increasingly common. A 200-amp panel isn’t unusual in larger homes, and there are even 300-amp and 400-amp panels available.
The average home has about 20 circuit breakers. The upper limit per panel according to the NEC is 44. There are ways to expand that limit, but the average homeowner won’t need to. We also recommend ground fault circuit interrupters for any outlets and switches near water. You may want to consider integrating whole-house surge protection into your new panel.
Panel replacement can provide several benefits.
- Less risk of fire
- Increased home value
- Better energy efficiency
- Increased power supply
- Reduced risk of lighting damage
What Is the Cost of an Electrical Panel Upgrade?
The cost to replace or upgrade an electrical panel in Natick varies greatly from one home to the next. You have to factor in the cost of the panel itself, the circuit breaker switches, and, if applicable, any subpanels. Needing to replace the meter box can increase your equipment costs as well. Labor cost will be the electrician’s rate across four to eight hours. There can be additional costs, such as panel relocation.
