Your home electrical system and service panel is a constant running source of energy. As with anything that operates on energy, eventually issues will always arise. It is important that your equipment maintains efficient functionality to ensure your home stays energized and safe from potential hazards.
An electrical service panel (also known as a breaker box) is where power comes into your home. Servicing or upgrading it allows more efficient electric power to flow to your house, its amenities, and your appliances. If you're having issues with your current panel or planning a major addition to your home electrical system, contact us about servicing or available upgrade options!
Houses connect to the grid with telephone poles and overhead wires or underground service system. When you work with KCD Electric for your electrical upgrades, our first step is to get approval from the local utility company to perform required tasks. This guarantees upgrades we perform will be done according to required local standards.
It’s important to understand how much power is delivered from the grid to your home. We look at this through your main breaker. For example, if you have a 100-amp main breaker, you can draw 100-amps of power for all your appliances. The service panel might be rated for higher, so an upgrade to your existing system would be allowed while following local standards and procedures.
Electrical Panel circuit breakers are a mechanical device. As with all things mechanical, eventually they will fail from years of usage, exposure to the elements, and consistent energy flow through them. Circuit breakers are a safety device meant to ensure your home electrical system doesn't become damaged or potentially cause fires. It is important to make sure your electrical panel is maintained and updated regularly to allow for proper functionality!

A subpanel is an ideal solution for expanding the electrical capacity of a home or outbuilding when the main panel is full or when circuits need to be localized to a specific area—such as a garage, workshop, basement, or outdoor living space. Installing a subpanel allows for additional breakers without upgrading the main service, providing a cost-effective way to support high-demand installations like spas, saunas, EV chargers, or shop equipment. By distributing power through a dedicated subpanel, homeowners can avoid overcrowding their main panel, simplify future electrical work, and isolate specific systems for better control and safety. Subpanels also help streamline wiring runs, reduce voltage drop across long distances, and offer flexibility for future expansion, making them a smart investment in both performance and long-term planning.
