Why Pittsburgh Homeowners Upgrade Their Electrical Panels
- Older homes + modern needs: Many Pittsburgh houses in Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and Dormont were built with 60–100 amp service. Today’s families need at least 200 amps to handle HVAC, modern kitchens, and entertainment systems.
- Safety first: Outdated panels like Federal Pacific or Zinsco are well-known fire hazards.
- Code compliance: If you’re selling a home in Allegheny County or doing major renovations, inspectors will require a modern, code-compliant panel.
- Reliability: No more tripped breakers when you run the washer, dryer, and oven at the same time.
