With modern technology comes the need for a higher amp panel.
A residential panel needs replaced every 25 to 40 years and there are signs that tell when it is time to undergo this project.
Power Strips - with todays technology we have a need for many things to be plugged in and charging. If you find that you do not have enough outlets for your daily uses, then your are probably using more power than your panel was designed to provide.
Circuit Breaker tripping - todays appliances demand a lot of energy. If your circuit breaker keeps tripping it may not have the ability to keep up with the demand of your appliance.
If your house is running off of fuses rather then breakers.
If you are planning on any of these items listed below then a panel upgrade might be recommended as well.
