Panel Power: New High-End Systems for Larger Energy Demand

March 3rd, 2025

Electrical panels serve as the “energy hearth” of your home. All electrical connections flow through the panel, or panels depending on the size and layout of your house. These components are essential for modern, 21st century living, and they’re also what keeps you safe and your home efficient.

But panels can age, especially when technological advancements happen as quickly as they do now. Think about the amount of electrical appliances we use now compared to 20 years ago. A panel that was manufactured and installed then is not going to be able to handle the load that we expect it to now.

As things change, it’s important to update your home to modern standards for safety and fire prevention, better efficiency, and to simply handle the new load of energy that you require.

We’re offering customers $100 off an electrical panel upgrade in Gibsonia. Let’s talk about a few good reasons to take advantage of this opportunity.
