Outdated electrical panels can’t keep up with modern energy demands. As your home or business grows and changes over time, an old panel leads to tripped breakers, blown fuses, insufficient capacity, and safety hazards. Upgrading provides the power, safety, and reliability your property needs.
The experts at Ampco Electric specialize in electrical panel replacements and upgrades in Tulsa, OK. We’ve served local homeowners and businesses for over 25 years, providing modern, high-capacity panels. Read on to learn when you need a panel upgrade, costs, our full process, and why you should choose Ampco Electric.
Here are the most common indicators that your Tulsa electrical panel is outdated and needs replacement
Constant breaker tripping or blown fuses means your panel lacks the capacity to meet your home or business’s electrical needs. As you add more lights, appliances, devices over time, an undersized panel can’t provide sufficient power. Outages occur when demand exceeds capacity. Upgrading prevents constant shutoffs so your systems work properly.
Older panels often have as few as 4-8 circuits to distribute electricity. But most modern homes require 16-20 circuits minimum as electrical usage has dramatically increased over decades. Air conditioners, home electronics, and large appliances can each require their own dedicated circuit. If your panel has circuit space shortages, tripped breakers are inevitable as you overload the limited circuits.
Major appliances like central A/C, electric stoves/ovens, laundry equipment, garage door openers, pool heaters, hot tubs, etc. consume huge amounts of electricity. They require 30-50+ amp circuits your older panel may lack. Attempting to run modern high-watt additions on an outdated, low-capacity panel is hazardous and leads to failures.
Once electrical panels reach 40+ years old, replacement parts become scarce or obsolete. You’re left with an unsafe, unreliable system prone to breakdowns and malfunctions. Older components wear out over decades of use. Even if it’s still “working,” an ancient panel should be upgraded before problems arise.
If you’ve renovated, expanded, or added onto your Tulsa property recently, your electrical needs have likely grown too. More living space requires increased capacity for additional lighting, outlets, switches, and appliances. Previous adequate panels often need upgrades after property improvements and expansions increase electrical load.
Constant repairs like wiring replacements and breaker fixes are Band-Aid solutions. If your older panel continually needs maintenance, it indicates the entire system needs modernizing. Parts wear out over years of use. Upgrading the core electrical panel provides lasting reliability.
Outdated electrical components are extremely dangerous fire and shock risks. Faulty, overloaded wiring and circuits, damage, worn parts, and insufficient capacity can all cause electrical arcing, sparks, and heating. You do not want to take risks when it comes to structural and health safety. Faulty panels require immediate replacement.
If you notice any of these warning signs, contact Ampco Electric ASAP to inspect your panel and electrical system. Our master electricians can diagnose any issues or deficiencies and advise if a panel upgrade is recommended in your Tulsa property. We’ll explain all options clearly before any work begins.
Electrical panel upgrade costs range from $800 – $4,000, sometimes more for large commercial projects. Exact prices depend on:
A full panel upgrade costs more than a partial upgrade or sub panel addition. Whole home upgrades are the most extensive.
The panel’s amperage capacity, circuit spaces, brand, parts like breakers and wiring quality all impact costs. Higher capacity equipment costs more.
More complex installations take more time and expertise, increasing project labor costs. Typically 10-15 hours for full panel replacements.
Electrical permits required by the city of Tulsa add permit fees to the total project price, which we handle for you.
Upgrading to 200 amps from an old 60-100 amp panel costs more than a standard 100 amp replacement. But provides more power.
Rewiring, new grounding, or other upgrades needed during panel replacement can increase costs. We assess and explain any additional costs upfront.
