Electrical Panel Upgrades in Citrus Heights

Older homes in Citrus Heights weren’t designed for today’s electrical demand. Between EV chargers, solar systems, HVAC upgrades, and modern appliances, many homes in the area are still operating on outdated 100-amp panels that are no longer safe or sufficient.

Under the Sun Solar & Electric provides code-compliant electrical panel upgrades in Citrus Heights, helping homeowners safely increase capacity, pass inspections, and prepare their homes for future electrical needs.

Why Citrus Heights Homes Commonly Need Panel Upgrades

Many homes in Citrus Heights were built between the 1950s–1980s and still rely on original electrical infrastructure. We regularly see:

• 100-amp panels overloaded by modern usage
• Breakers that trip under normal household load
• Panels that are no longer insurable
• Unsafe legacy panels recalled for fire risk
• Homes preparing for solar, remodels, or EV chargers

A panel upgrade isn’t cosmetic — it’s a safety and capacity upgrade.

Signs You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade

You may need a panel upgrade if:

• Breakers trip frequently
• Lights dim when appliances turn on
• You smell heat or burning near the panel
• The panel feels warm to the touch
• Your home still uses a fuse box
• You’re adding solar, an EV charger, or a remodel
• Your insurance company flagged the panel

If any of the above apply, a professional evaluation is critical.
