Electrical Panel Upgrades in Austin, TX
Some Austin homes have been around for decades and while some homeowners may focus on refreshing the look of their yard, kitchen or bathrooms, many forget about their electrical panel. In the years your home has been around, your electrical needs have likely changed. When homeowners are looking for electrical panel upgrades in Austin, they know they can turn to the licensed professionals at ABC Home & Commercial Services.
There are a couple of reasons to upgrade your electric panel. Electric panels channel incoming electricity from the meter and distribute it to the circuits in your home. On occasion, panels can develop issues with properly distributing the power resources, and in those cases would need to be replaced.
More commonly though, it has to do with having an older home. Electric panels come in a range of capacities: 100, 150, 200, or 400 amps. All homes require a minimum amperage, and your electric panel must support that minimum. If your home is older and has an older, lower power panel, it may not be able to power all of today’s modern electrical equipment and appliances.
So, if your home needs to be able to handle 200 amps but only has a panel rated to 100, it would need an upgrade to handle the additional power requirements.

“Difficult tree removal in front yard. Tree hanging over two houses. This team climbed the tree and took it down limb by limb. It was almost like watching ballet. True professionals. Highly recommend. You get what you pay for. They left the site neat as a pin.”

“One of the responsibility of homeownership that I least like is the annual leaf lawn pick up and as I grow older, I appreciate it more and more when somebody else takes over this chore. ABC recently handled this for me at my Austin Home. They were completely professional and went above board to make my yard as neat and clean as possible. They were very diligent in removing obstructions in order to get into every nook and cranny where the leafs could hide, and then replacing the items removed back in their proper position. I would consider using them again next year.”
