Is It Time for an Electrical Panel Upgrade in Your Roanoke Home?

Your home’s electrical panel is the command center for everything from your HVAC system to your kitchen appliances. But if you’re living in an older Roanoke home or have recently added high-demand devices like EV chargers or home offices, your current panel may not be cutting it.

At Stetson and Sons Electrical, we specialize in safe, code-compliant electrical panel upgrades that improve efficiency, increase safety, and prepare your home for the future.

What Is an Electrical Panel Upgrade?

An upgrade replaces your outdated breaker box or fuse panel with a modern, higher-capacity panel that can safely handle today’s electrical loads.

Most older homes in Roanoke were built with 60–100 amp panels—nowhere near enough for modern living, which typically requires 200 amps or more.

Signs You May Need a Panel Upgrade

If you’re seeing any of these red flags, it’s time to give your panel a closer look:

• ⚠️ Frequent breaker trips
• ⚠️ Lights dimming when appliances turn on
• ⚠️ A burning smell or warm panel surface
• ⚠️ Outdated fuse box instead of circuit breakers
• ⚠️ You’ve added a hot tub, EV charger, or finished basement
• ⚠️ You plan to renovate or sell soon
