Bring your electrical distribution center up to current standards

About Our Panel Code Compliance Upgrade Service

Madison Electric modifies electrical distribution centers to meet current safety codes and eliminate violations that create hazards or prevent property transactions. Our panel code compliance upgrade service addresses installations that lack proper clearances, use outdated protection devices, have inadequate grounding, or violate modern safety requirements. We identify all code violations, explain what corrections are necessary, and execute upgrades that bring your system into full compliance.
Your distribution center must meet electrical codes that have evolved significantly over the years. Our electricians evaluate installations against current requirements, document violations, and recommend the most practical approach to achieving compliance. We handle everything from simple clearance improvements to complete equipment replacement when necessary to satisfy modern safety standards.

When You Should Consider a Panel Code Compliance Upgrade

Outdated or Non‑Compliant Panel Equipment

If your panel was installed decades ago, it may not meet current electrical codes — upgrading ensures compliance and improves safety.

Home Insurance or Local Regulations Require Upgrades

When insurers or local authorities demand code‑compliant wiring and breaker panels, a code compliance upgrade ensures you meet those requirements.

Frequent Breaker Trips or Fuse Blows on Normal Load

If breakers trip often or fuses blow with typical household use, your panel likely cannot handle modern loads and needs updating to current code.

Panel Lacks Ground-Fault or Arc-Fault Protection

Older panels often miss modern safety protections; upgrading adds these protections to reduce risk of electrical fires or shocks.

Visible Corrosion, Rust, or Wear in Panel Box

Signs of wear or corrosion inside your panel weaken connections and violate safety standards — replacement restores safe, reliable wiring.

No Proper Grounding or Bonding in Existing Setup

If grounding or bonding doesn’t meet current code requirements, a code‑compliance upgrade corrects this to protect your home and appliances.

You Plan to Add More Circuits or High-Load Devices

To safely add new circuits or power-hungry appliances, your system must meet code standards — a compliance upgrade makes expansion secure and legal.

Older Fuse Box or Improvised Wiring is in Place

If your system still uses fuse boxes, cloth‑insulated wires, or DIY modifications, replacing these with a modern, code-compliant panel ensures long-term safety and reliability.
