Service Upgrades

Upgrade Your Electrical Service with DT Electric

As electrical demands increase in modern homes, many older electrical systems may struggle to keep up. Upgrading your meter and electrical panel to a larger size can significantly improve the safety, efficiency, and capacity of your home’s electrical system. At DT Electric, we specialize in service upgrades, ensuring your home’s electrical infrastructure meets current needs and safety standards.

Surge Protection

Adding surge protectors to your home electrical panel is a smart investment to safeguard your electronics and appliances from unexpected power surges caused by lightning strikes, power outages, or fluctuations in the grid. These devices act as a buffer, diverting excess voltage away from your home’s electrical system and preventing damage to your valuable equipment, such as computers, TVs, and refrigerators. By installing a whole-house surge protector at your electrical panel, you ensure that every outlet in your home is shielded from surges, providing comprehensive protection. It’s essential to choose a surge protector with a sufficient voltage rating and response time to effectively protect your home.

Why Consider a Service Upgrade?

1. Increased Electrical Demand: With the addition of new appliances, electronics, HVAC systems, and smart home devices, the electrical demand in modern homes has increased significantly. Upgrading your service can prevent overloaded circuits and frequent breaker trips.

2. Safety Concerns: Old (20+ years old can be Hazardous) or outdated electrical panels can pose serious safety risks, including electrical fires and shocks. Upgrading to a modern panel ensures your home’s electrical system is safe and compliant with current codes and standards.

3. Home Renovations and Additions: If you’re planning a home renovation or addition, a service upgrade may be necessary to support the increased electrical load. Ensuring adequate capacity can prevent future issues and enhance the functionality of your new space.
