Is It Time For a Meter Upgrade for Your Home?

Many older homes have electrical systems that have a smaller power capacity than what today's more modern homes require. This makes for a system that doesn't have enough electrical capacity to survive in today's electronic and gadget based world. For this reason many people look to expand the capacity of their home's electrical system through electric service and meter upgrades.

Most people today have modern appliances such as dishwashers, washers, dryers, generators and other types of appliances that require more voltage than what some older types of homes in San Diego have available. To have your old home support your newer and more modern appliances, you will most likely have to consult your local San Diego electrician or electrical contractor and talk to them about what they can do to expand your home's capacity.

Some of the symptoms of your home not having enough power are:

  • You frequently blow fuses or circuit breakers when you use too many appliances like vacuum cleaners, microwaves or space heaters
  • The lights dim when you turn on an appliance
  • You don't have enough electrical receptacles for the number of appliances you use.
  • You may have many extension cords and adapters to fit more plugs

Think about the new appliances that have become widely available over the last 40 years or so.  Vacuum cleaners, space heaters, air conditioners, microwaves, curling irons, hair dryers, big screen televisions, spas, computers etc.  Many of these appliances draw significant amounts of electrical power.  Some older homes in San Diego only have 60-100 amps of power available in their electrical panel.  A typical space heater or microwave can draw 15-20 amps alone. Then you have the lights, fridge, microwave, etc.  Now you can see why it may be necessary to upgrade your homes electrical system and get a meter upgrade.

Upgrading a homes electrical system and electricity meter isn't an easy job, and it's not recommended to get involved with a project like this unless you are a professional electrical contractor and you know what you're doing. This is not a job for your handyman, the just out of school electrician or your friend's brother who "knows how to do electrical work." Electrical service and meter upgrade are advanced level electrical work. If you need to upgrade your electrical system, contact a licensed electrical contractor in your area. 

At Point Loma Electric, our San Diego electricians specialize in upgrading the electrical systems of older homes and can help you expand the power capacity of your home so that you will have the capacity to power the more modern devices that require higher voltage draws. We will handle all aspects of your electrical service upgrade including obtaining a permit and dealing with the city and the utility company to ensure your meter upgrade is done correctly.

Once you have your new power system with an increased capacity, you'll never have to worry about the safety of your home from an electrical perspective, blowing circuits or having the power you need for all of your appliances!
