Questions and Answers
How can an electric panel upgrade help my Lancaster home during a PSPS or with modern appliances?
Many older homes in Lancaster have electrical panels that can't safely handle today's power loads from air conditioning, multiple devices, or EV chargers, and they may lack proper surge protection. Upgrading your panel with Higher Up Electric increases capacity and safety, allowing for backup generator hookups during PSPS events and providing a stable foundation for all your modern electrical needs.
What should I check after a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) before power is restored?
After a PSPS, it's wise to have a professional electrician like us conduct a brief inspection. We'll check your electric panel for any tripped breakers or damage, ensure all wiring connections are secure, and verify that major appliances and your EV charging station are ready for a safe power-on sequence. This proactive step can prevent potential hazards when utility power returns.
Why is a professional electrical inspection important for older Lancaster homes?
Older wiring and outdated panels are common in our area and may not meet current safety codes or handle modern electrical loads. Our comprehensive inspection identifies issues like faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, and insufficient grounding. This is especially critical for preparing your home's electrical system to be resilient against the surges that can occur during PSPS events and frequent power cycling.
