Signs You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade
Your panel is one of the most important parts of your electrical system, and when it starts to fail, the signs show up throughout your home or business:
- Breakers that trip repeatedly, especially when multiple appliances run at once.
- A panel that feels warm or makes buzzing sounds is a serious warning sign.
- Running out of circuits for new appliances, HVAC equipment, or EV chargers.
- An older fuse box is still in place. Fuse boxes are no longer up to modern safety standards.
- Planning a renovation or addition that will require more electrical capacity.
Don’t ignore these warning signs. Call Reed Electrical for an inspection and let us tell you exactly what your panel needs.
Residential Electrical Panel Upgrades for Modern Homes
Older homes in Burbank were built for a simpler time, before high-efficiency HVAC systems, EV chargers, smart home devices, and whole-home entertainment setups became the norm. If your home’s electrical panel hasn’t kept pace, it may be limiting what you can safely run and putting your property at risk.
Our residential electrical panel upgrades give your home the capacity it needs to support:
- New kitchen appliances and laundry upgrades.
- Home renovations, additions, and finished basements.
- EV chargers, smart home systems, and advanced HVAC equipment.
- Better safety and more favorable homeowner’s insurance rates.
- Improved resale value as buyers look for updated electrical systems.
Commercial Electrical Panel Upgrades for Businesses
For businesses in Burbank, electrical downtime isn’t just frustrating; it’s costly. An inadequate or failing panel can interrupt your operations, trigger safety inspections, and put your team and equipment at risk. Our commercial electrical panel upgrade services are designed to address all of that efficiently and professionally.
We work with businesses of all sizes, from small retail shops to larger commercial facilities. Our approach minimizes disruption, keeps your team informed, and ensures the project is completed on time, so you can get back to business as quickly as possible.
Electrical Panel Replacement vs. Upgrade: What's Right for You?
One of the most common questions we hear is whether a full panel replacement is necessary or if an upgrade will do the job. The honest answer: it depends on your specific situation, and that’s exactly what we’re here to determine.
A panel upgrade typically increases your system’s capacity without replacing the entire unit. A replacement means installing a brand-new panel, usually needed when the current one is too old, damaged, or incompatible with modern requirements. We never recommend more work than necessary. After an on-site evaluation, we’ll explain your options clearly so you can make an informed decision, no pressure, no guesswork.

I had a few ceiling fans and light fixtures replaced as well as GFI outlets changed. I was also able to get new wired fire alarms installed the same day. I would definitely recommend Reed Electrical for any electrical work you need done.Posted on Google Jim GallaherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an issue with a couple entryway switches where two of the switches turned on both the porch light and entryway light at the same time instead of turning on/off each one independently. This was one of those 100 issues on the repair list that I finally got around to addressing. I took a look at the switch to see if I could figure out the issue, but after seeing that the wiring appeared to be done incorrectly and one wire actually came loose during my inspection, I said yeah... I have no idea what they did (Previous ownership) and I'm not messing around with it. So, I put everything back and called Reed. Peter came over and quickly confirmed that the switch was wired incorrectly, explained what they did wrong, and had it wired back the correctly to where both lights now turn on/off independently. I will certainly call Reed Electrical again in the future to have an inspection done to make sure there are no other issues to be concerned about. Thank you for the prompt service! Edit-Note: The picture of the switch's wiring is how I originally discovered it and how it was BEFORE it was corrected. Unfortunately, I do not have an after picture to show. You'll just have to take my word that it is now wired and working correctly. lolPosted on Google Kathy MittelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a new lighting fixture installed as well as several outlets. The service was exceptional as always. The work was scheduled promptly and completed to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Reed Electrical Services.
