Why Electrical Panels Matter More Than Ever
Modern homes consume far more electricity than they did even 20 years ago. High-efficiency HVAC systems, kitchen appliances, electric vehicles, home offices, and entertainment systems all contribute to the demand. If your panel can’t keep up, you may notice:
- Frequent breaker trips
- Lights that flicker when large appliances run
- Limited capacity for adding new circuits
- Warm or buzzing panel components
These aren’t just annoyances — they’re warning signs that your panel may be unsafe or inefficient. In Delaware County, many older homes still operate on panels designed for much lower loads, putting them at risk for overheating, power surges, and even electrical fires.

FAQs About Electrical Panel Installation in Delaware County, PA
1. How do I know if I need a new electrical panel?
Signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, limited circuit space, or a panel that feels warm to the touch. Homes with panels over 20–25 years old should be evaluated by a professional, especially if you’re adding new appliances or renovating.
2. What size electrical panel do I need?
Panel size depends on your current electrical demand and any planned future upgrades, such as an EV charger or home addition. Most modern homes require at least 200 amps, but we calculate exact needs during your consultation.
3. Can I replace my electrical panel myself?
No. Electrical panel work involves high-voltage systems and strict code compliance. It should only be handled by licensed electricians to avoid serious injury, fire hazards, or voided insurance coverage.
4. How long does installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in one day, though complex upgrades or rewiring may extend the timeline. We schedule efficiently to minimize downtime.
5. Will a new panel lower my energy bills?
While a panel doesn’t directly reduce consumption, it improves efficiency by ensuring your electrical system runs safely and reliably, reducing the risk of wasted energy from faulty connections or overloaded circuits.
6. Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. We manage all necessary permits and coordinate with local inspectors to ensure your installation meets Delaware County and national code requirements.
7. What’s the difference between a fuse box and a breaker panel?
Fuse boxes use fuses that must be replaced when they blow, while breaker panels use resettable switches. Breaker panels are safer, easier to maintain, and better suited to modern electrical demands.
8. Is it worth upgrading if my panel still “works”?
If your panel is outdated, undersized, or non-compliant with current safety standards, upgrading is worth it for improved safety, capacity, and potential home value.
9. Can you install surge protection with my panel?
Absolutely. Whole-home surge protectors can be integrated during installation to safeguard electronics and appliances from damaging power spikes.
10. What warranties do you provide?
We offer a three-year workmanship warranty, plus manufacturer warranties on the panel and components, giving you long-term peace of mind.
If your Delaware County home needs an electrical panel upgrade or replacement, call Martella Electric Company at (484) 341-7113 or mesage us online to schedule your consultation.
