As a home ages and technology advances, there often comes a time when a home’s electrical supply ceases to provide enough power. The use of modern, more demanding electronics like smart TV’s, new refrigerators, and upgraded air conditioning systems can increase demand substantially. So it’s easy to see why increasing the available electricity supply is eventually a good idea. If you are considering an electrical upgrade or what is commonly referred to as a “heavy up” in your Waldorf home, the team here at Circuit Doctors can help!
The term heavy up came into use during the rising popularity in home renovations. The term simply means to increase the amperage flowing into a home by upgrading the service panel. It is necessary to upgrade the service panel so that your home’s electrical system can both handle and receive an increased electrical load.
For most homes built in the lasat 20 to 30 years, a heavy up is usually not necessary during a renovation or to accomodate the use of modern appliances. However, homes that were built before the advent of modern electrical appliances such as TV’s, dishwashers, washers & dryers, heating and cooling systems, computers, heated pools & hot tubs, and modern refridgerators, are good candidates for a heavy up.
