Electrical Panel Upgrades & Replacements
Electrical Panel Upgrades & Replacements For Your Home
When your home’s electrical panel can’t keep up, it’s more than just an inconvenience. It can create real risks—from breakers tripping constantly to overheating circuits. At Machias Electrical and Power Generation, we help homeowners in Snohomish, North King, and Skagit Counties upgrade their panels safely and properly.
We’ve been in this trade for 20 years. As a small, two-person operation, we don’t rush installs or push upgrades that aren’t needed. We focus on the work, your safety, and making sure your system is ready for today’s—and tomorrow’s—power needs.
What Is An Electrical Panel Upgrade?
Every home relies on its electrical panel to route power where it’s needed. But many homes, especially those over 20 years old, still have panels built for a time before EV chargers, backup batteries, and high-use appliances.
Upgrading your panel means replacing it with an updated system that can handle more demand, meet current codes, and protect devices against overload or failure. We install panels that give you room to grow—whether you're expanding, remodeling, or just getting your system up to speed.
When Should You Consider A Panel Upgrade?
You might not think about your panel every day, but these signs often mean it’s time:
-
Lights dim or flicker when large appliances run
-
Breakers trip often for no clear reason
-
You plan to install a generator, EV charger, or battery backup
-
Buzzing, heat, or burning smell near the panel
-
The panel looks outdated, rusty, or has burned spots
If you recognize any of these, don’t wait. Older panels may no longer meet today’s safety codes and can’t protect your home the way newer systems can.
What We Fix During Panel Upgrades
-
Undersized panels that can’t meet demand
-
Old breakers that fail to trip properly
-
Wiring issues that cause heat or connection loss
-
Limited space for new circuits or larger systems
-
Compatibility gaps with renewable energy sources
We see these problems all the time in homes across Snohomish and North King. Whether you're preparing for new tech or just want peace of mind, a safe, modern panel can make a big difference.
