Upgrade Your Electrical Panel in Tufftonboro and Carroll County
If your electrical panel is outdated or not keeping up with your power needs, it could be putting your home—and your safety—at risk. Upright Electric provides expert panel and service upgrades in Tufftonboro, NH and the surrounding Lakes Region. We’ll help you get more power, more safety, and peace of mind with a modern system that’s built to code.
Many homes in Central NH still run on older electrical panels that were never designed to handle today’s appliances, devices, and systems. From lake houses near Lake Winnipesaukee to family homes in Melvin Village and Wolfeboro, Upright Electric helps property owners upgrade their panels the right way—safely, professionally, and with care.
We replace outdated panels like Federal Pacific, Zinsco, Challenger, and Sylvania and install modern systems including SPAN smart panels, which give you greater control and monitoring features.
Why You Might Need to a Panel or Service Upgrade
You may not think about your electrical panel until something goes wrong, but these signs mean it might be time to upgrade:
- Breakers trip often or won’t reset
- You see burn marks, buzzing, or smell burning near the panel
- You have a fuse box or recalled panel model
- Your lights flicker or dim when using appliances
- You’re adding high-demand systems (EV charger, hot tub, HVAC)
- The panel is over 30 years old or never inspected
A panel upgrade isn’t just about adding power—it’s about safety. Outdated or overloaded panels can increase the risk of fire and damage appliances. A new panel helps prevent surges, keeps your system up to code, and gives you room to grow.
What’s Included in a Panel Upgrade
- Installation of new circuit breakers that are listed and compatible with the new panel
- Installation of a new panel (100 amp, 200 amp, or 400 amp)
- Electrical service upgrades if needed
- Clear labeling and clean, organized wiring
- installation of Arc fault and ground fault protection if needed or required by code
- Installation of sub-panels when your existing panel doesn't have enough space for new circuits—ideal for additions or high-demand systems
