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.

Reed Electrical Services were excellent in the rewire of my 1948 house. They came in behind a bad contractor/electrician and inspected and replaced all wiring, updating lighting in the basement and garage, and basically made my house feel safe to live in. All employees I came into contact with were professional and easy to work with.Posted on JayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
