Upgrading an electric panel will do nothing to change the aesthetics of the home. The panels look the same, but are capable of processing quite a bit more electricity. The older panels from 30 to 50 years ago were typically meant for 100-amp service. Back then that was more than enough. In today’s world, the building standards have changed and homes are being built with 200-amp service or more. This gives you plenty of breakers to power the various outlets and large appliances you will have in the home explains a West Palm Beach electrician.
