When should I upgrade my electrical panel?

You should upgrade if your home has a fuse box, if breakers trip frequently, or if you’re installing new high-demand appliances like electric vehicles or HVAC systems. Older panels often can’t safely support modern electrical needs. We’ll inspect your system and recommend the best course of action.

What are signs of an overloaded electrical panel?

Frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, warm panel surfaces, or burning smells can all indicate an overloaded or failing panel. Ignoring these signs can put your home at risk of electrical fires. Immediate inspection and upgrade are strongly recommended.

How long does an electrical panel replacement take?

Most panel upgrades are completed in one day. The timeline may vary depending on your home’s wiring complexity or permitting requirements. We’ll provide a clear schedule during your consultation.

Can I install more circuits without a full panel upgrade?

In some cases, yes—especially if your current panel has available capacity. Otherwise, adding a sub-panel or upgrading the main panel is often the best solution for safety and future expansion.

Is an outdated panel dangerous?

Yes. Old panels like Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or fuse boxes are linked to higher risks of electrical fires. Replacing them protects your home, your appliances, and your family’s safety.

Do I need a panel upgrade if I’m adding a home addition?

Most likely. Home additions increase the load on your electrical system, and you’ll often need more circuits. We’ll assess your current panel and recommend any necessary upgrades.

Can you add surge protection during a panel upgrade?

Absolutely. We strongly recommend whole-home surge protection to safeguard your electronics and appliances from voltage spikes.

Do you offer financing for panel upgrades?

Yes, Aux Home Services provides financing options to make electrical upgrades more affordable. We’ll discuss available plans during your estimate.

Hear From Our Satisfied Customers

Adam was professional, courteous and well informed in his understanding of the HVAC system , what were the problems with our current system and our alternatives to consider.

I can't recommend Aux Home Services and Preston enough. We had an older home with tricky wiring, and Preston took the time to explain everything, answered all my questions patiently, and did excellent, careful work installing our new light fixture. He clearly knew what he was doing and didn't cut any corners (exactly what you want when it comes to electrical work in an older house). Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. The monthly service plan was easy to sign up for (covers plumbing, electrical, and HVAC... perfect for an older home). If you need an electrician in the Birmingham area, ask for Preston. Also, dispatch team were great! Highly recommend!

Had an issue and wasn't sure what it was and Walter took the extra time needed to get the job done right in a courteous manner. I decided to keep all older units and Walter explained what I could do to keep them and I had contactors and caps replaced.

My experience with Aux was excellent, start to finish. A neighbor recommended them. My initial contact and request for a service call was seamless. Tyler, the technician who visited my home (the very next morning) to service the water heater, did an excellent diagnostic, and reviewed the pros and cons of replacing the 12 year old water heater. I was living on borrowed time with the old unit. Tyler was very professional, made some improvements to the piping connections, and convinced me of the benefit of becoming a member in their annual service contract for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. He was in and out within 4 hours, including a trip to his warehouse for the new water heater. I highly recommend AUX Mechanical services!
