Many homes built before the 1980s were not designed to support today’s electrical loads from EV chargers, generators, HVAC systems, and modern appliances.
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system, responsible for safely distributing power to every circuit, outlet, and appliance. In many older homes throughout West Michigan — including communities like Ada and East Grand Rapids — electrical panels were never designed to support today’s power demands.
As homeowners add EV chargers, standby generators, upgraded HVAC systems, and modern appliances, outdated or undersized panels can quickly become overloaded. Because panels are often tucked away in basements or utility rooms, warning signs may go unnoticed until problems arise—frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, buzzing sounds, or overheating components.
Ignoring an aging electrical panel doesn’t prevent failure, it increases the risk of power interruptions, equipment damage, and potential electrical fire hazards. That’s why Flat River Electric specializes in electrical panel upgrades, service upgrades, and full panel replacements designed to bring older homes safely up to modern standards.
Our licensed residential electricians deliver clean, professional installations using premium materials, with industry-leading 5 and 10 year panel warranties depending on the equipment selected. We stand behind our work with a lifetime craftsmanship guarantee, giving West Michigan homeowners confidence that their electrical system is built to last.
If your home needs a safer, more reliable electrical panel, Flat River Electric is here to help. Schedule a professional panel evaluation today and ensure your home is prepared for today’s electrical demands, and tomorrow’s.

Common signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, buzzing sounds from the panel, limited space for new circuits, or a panel that is 25+ years old. Homes adding EV chargers, generators, hot tubs, or major renovations often require a panel upgrade to safely support increased electrical demand.
Not always.. but many older panels no longer meet modern electrical codes or safety standards. If your panel uses outdated components, lacks proper grounding, or cannot safely handle your home’s electrical load, an upgrade may be required to remain code-compliant and protect your home
