At Randy’s Electric, our electricians upgrade service panels throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, Eden Prairie, and more on a regular basis. If you have an older home (one that is 30 years or older), then you should consider having your electrical panel replaced.

This is especially the case if your Minneapolis area home is 50 years or older because more than likely you have an electrical panel that was manufactured by Federal Pacific. This company outfitted most of the homes built in the 1950s and 1960s, and these panels are notorious for not only failing but also causing fires as well.

Not only should you consider an upgrade to increase your safety, but also due to the modern electronics you have in your home. Advanced appliances such as air conditioners can demand more power than all the appliances and electronics did in the typical home 30 years ago. Your countertop appliances alone can draw a great deal of power. Many older homes are unable to handle that amount of power—merely adding more receptacles will not increase the available power.

Whether you’re located in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Eden Prairie, or beyond, Randy’s Electric is here to help. Call 612-470-0914 or contact us online to schedule a service panel upgrade.

Signs You May Need an Electrical Service Panel Upgrade


If you notice any of the following warning signs, you should call Randy’s Electric to have your electrical panel replaced.

  • Corrosion or rust is present on the circuit breakers or panel.
  • You are considering a remodel or other type of home upgrade.
  • Your breakers are constantly tripping or your panel has fuses instead of circuit breakers.
  • Your home is outfitted with a panel made by Federal Pacific—this is typical of homes built in the 1950s or ’60s.

Electrical Service Panel Upgrade Benefits


Upgrading your service panel will increase the capacity of your home’s electrical panel. Advanced models can provide up to 400 amps of power, allowing you to add more circuits if necessary. Not only will an upgrade increase the reliability of your electrical system, but it will also provide peace of mind because it will be much safer.

Contact Randy’s Electric online or call 612-470-0914 to schedule a service panel upgrade in Minneapolis, Maple Grove, Brooklyn Park, or beyond.

Reasons to Upgrade Your St. Paul Home’s Electrical Panel

The present electrical panel is too small – There is a very good chance that your home still has its original 100-amp service. As previously mentioned, today’s advanced appliances and electronics put extreme demands on a home’s electrical system, and a 100-amp system is, in many cases, insufficient. You may also want to add a room or remodel your kitchen and there is not enough room to add circuits to your present panel.

Your current electrical panel is unsafe – If your circuit breakers are tripping on a regular basis, or you notice things like your lights dimming when you turn on your hair dryer, then your available power is being maxed out. If you have an older home and your panel uses fuses, then you should have them replaced by circuit breakers because fuses are a fire hazard. In fact, many insurance companies will refuse to insure homes that have fuses.

You use tons of power strips and extension cords – If it seems like all of your devices are plugged into power strips or extension cords, that probably means you’re lacking outlets you really need. By upgrading your electrical panel, you eliminate the extra cords and eliminate fire hazards.

Don’t let your electrical panel pose a threat to your family’s safety. To upgrade the electrical panel in your Minneapolis area home to one that meets your needs, contact Randy’s Electric or call 612-470-0914 today.
