The returns I made in a week, this project is no longer fun!” Her statement got me thinking about what I as an Interior Designer could do to help her make her room renovation a fun and easy experience. I’m a mom myself, to 3 kids all under 9, so I get something like taking them to the grocery store. I try to avoid all costs, these days mostly by shopping online.

The before and after pictures of this exterior update show the incredible remodeling update that brought new life to our home.

Electrical Panel Upgrades – Electrical manufacturers of previous eras could hardly imagine all the electrical conveniences and luxuries we enjoy today. Whether it’s an electric car charging station, a solar power system, an induction cooktop, a hot tub, a sauna, or a radiant patio heater, your old panel wasn’t designed for it. Sometimes just adding a few circuits and installing code-required Arc Fault Interrupter (AFCI) breakers requires a panel upgrade.

Another possible reason for replacing the electrical panel could be that the original installer saved a few bucks by going with a less expensive rig that has an aluminum busbar (where the circuit breakers attach) and the aluminum busbar has developed hot spots and burn marks over the years. to corrosion. This is especially common with more well-known panel brands such as GTE, Sylvania and Zinsco.
