Why Your Building May Need an Electric Service Upgrade

Many local residential and commercial properties were built decades ago, which means they have electrical systems that were not built to handle modern electrical demands. Your service is measured in amps. The most common amps for residential homes range between 60 to 150 amps. Small commercial buildings typically fall in the range of 150 to 200 amps.

With homes and businesses using more electricity than ever before, these levels are simply not sufficient to safely power our daily needs. This makes getting a service upgrade not only convenient, but a necessity for safety. Homes and commercial structures running high-powered appliances and electronics with outdated electrical systems can result in flickering lights, tripping breakers, and electrical fires from overloaded and stressed systems.

If you own an older home or building, there’s a likelihood you need a service upgrade to provide enough electricity for your needs. Ask our licensed electricians to inspect your service panel to determine whether an upgrade is necessary.

Call Four Star Lighting and Electric immediately if:

• You own a home or commercial building that’s 20 years or older 
• Your lights dim or flicker when running a major appliance
• Your circuit breaker trips or has fuses blow often
• You don’t have enough outlets to power all your appliances
• Your circuit breaker doesn’t have enough empty slots to add new circuits
• You are planning a home or office addition or remodel
• You upgraded to a new HVAC system

How We Approach Electrical Service Upgrades in Lowell

An electrical service upgrade for your home or business is a complicated task that requires the expertise of a certified electrician. This usually involves upgrading a home’s electrical service to 200 amps, which is the modern standard for average-sized residences. In some cases, businesses and larger homes may need an upgrade of up to 400 amps. 

Upgrading your electrical service means installing service entrance cables, meter bases, weather heads, grounding and bonding systems, and an upgraded electrical panel. Our team will assess your current electrical service, your habits, and your electrical needs to determine how much power you require now and in the coming years. 

Our courteous technicians will guide you through every step of the service upgrade process. If your utility company owns your meter, we’ll work with them to obtain approval for replacement. No matter what you need, we will ensure a smooth, hassle-free upgrade from beginning to end.
