When to Replace or Upgrade Your Electrical System

• Do you frequently have circuit breakers tripping and fuses blowing?
  
• If you turn on any major appliance, do lights flicker?
  
• When you check your electrical panel, is it hot? Does it overheat?
  
• Speaking of electric panels, is yours a Federal Pacific, GTE/Sylvania, Zinsco or I-T-E Pushmatic? If so, you need to have an electrical panel upgrade immediately for safety reasons! (All of these models have been recalled.)
  
• Do you find yourself having to use a lot of extension cords or power strips to support all of your devices?
  
• Does your home have two-pronged electrical outlets (as opposed to the safer, more modern 3-pronged, grounded and “Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter" GFCI outlets)?
  
• Have you built additions to your home like a new garage, office or workshop?
  
• Have you recently installed any new large appliances (heat pumps, air conditioners, etc.) that suck up a lot of electricity?
