Homes with outdated wiring, recurring breaker trips, limited circuit capacity, or visible deterioration may require rewiring. Older systems often cannot safely support modern electrical demand. A qualified electrician can evaluate your existing wiring and advise whether a complete rewire or targeted updates would best support your home’s electrical needs.

Full rewiring projects may involve opening walls, replacing conductors, and temporary power interruptions. Depending on the scope of work, partial occupancy may be possible. Your electrician will review the project details and advise whether temporary relocation is recommended.

Yes. A licensed electrician can create a detailed circuit map of your electrical system. Circuit mapping helps identify load distribution, breaker assignments, and overall system layout, which is useful during upgrades or troubleshooting.

An electrical panel upgrade may be required if breakers trip often, there is no room to add new circuits, or you plan to install high-load equipment such as HVAC systems, EV chargers, or additional appliances. An inspection can determine whether your current panel safely supports your electrical load.

Panels exhibiting corrosion, overheating, limited breaker capacity, or obsolete components may require replacement. If your home still uses older fuse boxes or discontinued panel models, an evaluation by a licensed electrician is recommended.

Most residential panel upgrades can be completed in one day, depending on the system complexity and any required service modifications. Temporary power interruptions may occur during the upgrade process.

Yes. MAD Energy NW installs EV charging equipment and evaluates your panel capacity to ensure it can safely support the additional load. If necessary, panel upgrades can be coordinated prior to installation.

A surge protector helps shield electrical equipment from voltage spikes. Whole-home surge protection can be installed at the electrical panel to help protect appliances, HVAC systems, and electronic devices from power irregularities.

If your home includes modern electronics, high-efficiency appliances, or experiences recurring voltage fluctuations, installing surge protection can help safeguard your electrical system from unexpected spikes.

A breaker panel may feel slightly warm under normal load, but it should not feel hot. If it becomes hot to the touch, shut off power if safe to do so and contact our licensed electrician to inspect the system.
Flickering lights can indicate loose wiring, overloaded circuits, deteriorating connections, or panel-related issues. A licensed electrician can determine the cause and correct the underlying problem.
