When do you know when it is time to upgrade your service in your house?
Service Upgrades
There are several factors to consider:
- If you are adding a new piece of equipment or building that draw a lot of amperage, you will need to consider upgrading. Some examples are:
- A hot tub
- Ceramic pottery kiln
- Switching from gas appliances to electric appliances
- Detached garage
- If you are blowing a lot of fuses and find yourself installing larger ones than the wire is rated for, it may be time to consider upgrading.
- If you are selling your home and you think a first time home buyer may be interested, it may be time to consider upgrading. (Having an upgraded service is a requirement to qualify for a first time homebuyer loan)
- If you like saving money on your homeowner’s insurance, it may be time to consider upgrading.
- If the mast coming down the side of your house is starting to crack and show bare wires, it may be time to consider upgrading.
