Aurora Electrical Panel Upgrade & Replacement
A lot of Aurora homes are still running on the same 60 or 100 amp panel installed decades ago. WireNut’s licensed electricians upgrade and replace electrical panels throughout Aurora, giving older homes the capacity modern life actually needs.
Electrical Panel Upgrades for Aurora Homes
Original Aurora’s brick ranches near Del Mar Parkway and East Colfax were mostly built during the 1960s and 70s boom, an era when 60 and 100 amp panels were standard. Today’s homes, with central air, electric ranges, and a house full of electronics, routinely need 150 or 200 amp service to keep up without tripping breakers constantly.
Our electricians evaluate your current panel, explain your realistic options, and handle the upgrade cleanly, including coordinating any required circuit breaker replacements and checking for aging electrical wiring that should be addressed at the same time.
Signs Your Aurora Home Needs a Panel Upgrade
- Frequent breaker trips: especially when running multiple appliances at once
- A panel still rated for 60 or 100 amps: common in homes built during Aurora’s 1960s and 70s boom
- Fuses instead of breakers: found in some of Aurora’s oldest properties
- Warm panel or scorch marks: a clear sign of a panel under stress
- No room for new circuits: if adding an appliance or EV-ready circuit isn’t possible without an upgrade
Here’s what typically points to a panel that’s due for an upgrade.
Is My Outdated Panel Actually Dangerous?
An older panel that’s simply low-capacity isn’t automatically dangerous, but one with fuses, unusual heat, corrosion, or breakers that don’t reliably trip when they should is a genuine safety concern. In either case, an upgrade solves both the capacity problem and any underlying safety risk.
Repair the Existing Panel or Replace It Entirely?
If your panel is fundamentally sound but just needs a breaker or two swapped out, a repair can make sense. But once a panel is undersized for your home’s actual electrical load, which is common across Aurora’s older neighborhoods, a full replacement is almost always the better long-term investment.
Will a Panel Upgrade Increase My Home’s Value?
An updated panel is a meaningful selling point for many Aurora buyers, particularly for homes that previously carried an outdated 60 or 100 amp service, and it can smooth out the inspection process during a future sale.
