The electrical capacity in every home is limited to the power supplied by the electrical panel. When the panel is outdated or you need to add more circuits, a panel upgrade is needed. Depending on the age and condition of the panel, this can be done by adding new circuits, replacing the panel, or installing a subpanel.
The age of the home is one indication that it may be time for panel upgrades in Stafford, VA. Older homes often have a 60-amp electrical panel, which is not sufficient for today’s power needs. The minimum should be a 100-amp panel, although 150 or 200 amps is even better for meeting your current and future electrical needs.
Signs You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade:
- The panel is more than 20 years old – A panel that is 20 or 30 years old was manufactured at a time when homes had fewer appliances and electronics. Old panels are often not capable of meeting modern power demands.
- It is hot to the touch – An electrical panel that is hot to the touch is overheating and should be replaced.
- You have an unsafe panel – Federal Pacific Electric Company panels were installed in millions of homes from the 1950s to the 1980s. These panels have been found to be unsafe and create a fire hazard in the event of a short circuit. Panels by Federal Pacific Electric or Zinsco should be replaced as soon as possible.
- There are no spaces to add a new circuit – Newer panels often have empty spaces where new circuits can be added to accommodate a new appliance. If your box doesn’t have empty spaces, it needs an upgrade or subpanel installed.
The upgrade that is needed will depend on the problem that needs to be solved. For example, a Federal Pacific Electric or Zinsco panel will always need to be replaced. However, if you need a new circuit added, this can be done on the existing panel when there is room or with the addition of a subpanel.

“Right from the start, the office manager was very careful to understand what work we needed done, and to schedule the right electricians for the job. We have a new construction home that has builder fixtures that we wanted replaced with upgraded fixtures. Salone Solutions scheduled two workers to out. Their work ethic is excellent, and they were personable. They both made sure they knew what we wanted done, and worked to give us just what we requested. When our four dogs "broke out of jail" where we were keeping them from bothering the workers, both electricians were very good with the dogs, and enjoyed giving them attention. The projects we had were replacing one lighted ceiling fan with a different one, installing a ceiling fan in a room that had been prepped for a fan, replacing a dining room chandelier with another one, and replacing a foyer ceiling light with another. All 4 projects were done efficiently and just the way we wanted them. I strongly recommend this company, and will definitely hire them for future projects.”Barbara G.

“I hired Salone Solutions through Qmerit, Electrify America's nationwide network of local contractors to install the Electrify America L2 home charger for electric vehicles. I work for Electrify America and was going to receive my 9.6 kW wifi-enabled, app-operated charger soon and needed a NEMA 14-50 (240V) outlet installed in my garage to plug the wall box into. I selected SaloneSolutions from three vendor quotes that Qmerit provided. When evaluating the bids, Les Salone, the owner, called me directly and discussed his offer addressing all the questions I had. Because his quote was very competitive and he had the quickest availability to get the job done, I selected Les. On the day of the install a week or so later, Chris, the electrician, showed up right on time. We discussed how he was going to do the install. He accommodated my wish to run part of the wire behind the wall to minimize the amount of armored cable visible on the surface of my garage wall. This was a more elaborate process and required cutting open the dry wall. Chris did a very clean and expert job putting the cut-out back in the wall afterwards. This made it very easy for me to mud and paint over afterwards for an absolutely clean and seamless looking installation. He tested the new outlet, showed me how it was working, and wrapped up the job in less then 90 minutes. When the day later coincidentally my drier stopped working and I called Les to ask if this could possibly have anything to do with the installation of the 50 amp circuit breaker for my EV charger in the fuse box, Les sent Chris back out the very next day to double-check. Turns out it had nothing to do with the install and was just pure coincidence. The circuit breaker of the drier had failed and needed to be replaced. Chris went above and beyond and took care of that for me on the spot. I will use them again next time I need an electrician and can only highly recommend SaloneSolutions to anyone else as well.”Tim H.

The service was completed within the mentioned window. I would highly recommend Salone Solutions for any in home or office base services.”Mohammed H.
