Reliable Panel Upgrades & Replacements in Tompkins County

When your electrical panel is unable to handle the load from all your appliances and lights, the panel needs to be repaired or upgraded. At John Mills Electric, we offer panel repair and upgrade services. As a local presence in the Twin Tier Region, we operate from our headquarters in Elmira Heights and an office in Ithaca.

Identifying the Need for Electrical Panel Repair or Upgrade

Your electrical panel distributes power to all the outlets and appliances in your home. The panel is a critical component of your electrical system, and it is important to keep it in good condition. Sometimes, a panel needs minor repairs, such as replacing a faulty circuit breaker. In other cases, the panel is too small to handle the power needs of your home. In these situations, it is necessary to upgrade the panel or install a new one.

You should consider panel repair or replacement if:

  • Circuits don’t work 
  • Breakers trip frequently 
  • The panel is very old 
  • You have added a new appliance or new lights
  • You have noticed sparks or smells coming from your panel
