Electrical Panel Upgrades in Orem, UT

Power Your Home Safely with Ryco Electric

Your home’s electrical panel is the heart of your electrical system, distributing power to every outlet, appliance, and light. If your panel is outdated, overloaded, or unsafe, it may be time to consider an upgrade. At Ryco Electric, we specialize in professional electrical panel upgrades for homeowners in Orem, UT and across Utah County.

Why You Might Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade

As homes evolve to include more devices, appliances, and energy-intensive systems, many older panels simply can’t keep up. Here are key signs it’s time to upgrade:

Your panel is over 25 years old
You experience frequent breaker trips or flickering lights
You hear buzzing from the panel or smell burning
You’re installing a hot tub, EV charger, or large new appliance
Your panel is a known fire hazard (e.g., Federal Pacific or Zinsco)
You’re remodeling or adding square footage

Outdated panels can pose a serious fire risk and may not meet modern electrical codes, which can delay real estate transactions or affect insurance coverage.
