Electrical Service Panel Upgrade

Looking for  trustworthy advice about an electrical service panel upgrade?  If your project calls for electrical service panel upgrade work, Goodiel Electric, based in Jensen Beach, is the company to call.

Residents of St. Lucie County are, in most cases, provided their electric service through FPL.  Sometimes that service experiences voltage fluctuations.   The state of Florida requires that utilities normally operate within a range of plus- or minus eight volts (112 – 128) from standard voltage (120), but FPL prefers to keep this range within six volts (114 – 126). Fluctuations of more than six volts may cause your lights to dim or brighten.  Such voltage fluctuations can and often are harmful to sensitive electrical equipment.  Saving such equipment from early failure might well be a prudent course of action.  One way to approach the problem is a whole house surge protection.

You may want to consider adding whole house surge protection if you have large investments in home entertainment systems in the house. Square D offers the Surgebreaker secondary surge arrester that installs in your panel box. This device protects your home’s electrical system and hardwired appliances from surges up to 20,000 volts.

Point-of-use surge suppressors normally only handle surges up to 6,000 volts, and only protect the products plugged directly into them. For the best protection of sensitive electronics like computers, you need both levels of protection.

If you are considering taking this approach to your electrical problems, the first step in upgrading your service is to have our service advisor come to your home to give a written proposal of the required work. The adviser will examine your present electrical service to ensure that your new electrical service will support your needs.  To satisfy electrical code requirements, additional work may be required if there are any electrical code violations.

Do-it-yourself home improvement projects can be a fun challenge, but you should leave your electrical work to the professionals. For all of your residential electrical needs, give us a call – we’re here to help.
