QO versus Homeline Electrical Panels
Keeping the electrical supply system functioning in top condition can help you cut down on electric power bills and ensure all your appliances are safe from any form of damage. This guide looks at some of the best electrical panel types, their benefits, drawbacks, and more.
QO PanelIt refers to a particular type of circuit breaker that is fast and highly efficient for power supply applications. Plus, the circuit breaker ranks among some of the quickest opening breakers in the electrical industry. The breaker features a visual trip indicator that you can use to detect any issues in its functionality. Buss Bars Made Using Tin Copper:

Beware of Sub-Standard Electrical Panels
Electrical panels are components with many parts, and they require maintenance, primarily when used in the long term. It’s especially true if you use old panels and over two decades old.
Get in touch with DK electrical to get help with the following panel types:
- • Federal Pacific Electric: According to information from the U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission classifies this safety issue as the most common issue in using the panels. Plus, these are the types installed between 1950 and 1980, with such old components being prone to electrical damage.
- • Zinsco Electrical: Fortunately, these types were released from the market in the 1970s. In most cases, they have defective structures that let power flow when you switch off the circuit breakers which can lead to fires.
If you have either of these brands of electrical panels, contact us immediately to replace these dangerous electrical panels.
Frequently Asked Questions About Electrical Panel Upgrades
Upgrading an electrical panel may involve replacing an old panel with a newer version, or it may mean installing a larger panel with connections for more breakers. Or, the upgrade may be to switch from 100 amp to 200 amp service. So, your electrical service panel upgrade cost will depend on the type of upgrade, the type of panel, and the overall scope of the project. Ask your New Jersey DK Electrical Solutions expert for the specific cost of service panel upgrade you need for your home.
Upgrading an electrical panel can usually be expected to take from 4 to 8 hours, depending on the extent of the project. It can take significantly longer than 8 hours for electrical panel upgrade service if rewiring is necessary. Your DK Electrical Solutions master electrician can help you with information to contrast the estimated cost of your project with the average cost to upgrade electrical service panels.
Having your home’s electricity running through a new electrical panel helps ensure that you and your family will enjoy greater safety, security, comfort, and convenience. It gives you a reliably consistent flow of electricity powering all your electrical equipment and devices, including hardwired smoke detectors, security alarm systems, HVAC, lighting, appliances, entertainment systems, computers, etc. Plus, you’ll be able to add additional electrical devices to improve your modern lifestyle even more.
There are many hazards in older homes due to outdated electrical panels. Generally, residential electric panels should be updated at least every 25 to 40 years. In new homes with families finding they need more electrical capacity than they have, an upgrade from 100 amp to 200 amp service may be necessary. Replacing an old panel or low-capacity panel that is overwhelmed by a home’s modern electrical needs can help significantly improve safety, security, comfort, and convenience for its occupants.
An old breaker panel or fuse box is much more likely to fail, leaving you without electricity for days or longer while waiting to have the problem assessed and a new panel installed. So, electrical panel repair is not recommended for old breaker boxes. Normally, you should expect to replace the electrical panel in a home every 25 to 40 years, depending on variables specific to the house and area.
Updating the panel also enables you to upgrade other components to build an optimally safe and ideally functioning electrical system in an older home. For example, you can add whole-house surge protection to your electrical system through the electrical panel, to prevent damage or destruction of your computer or other electronics.
The normal life expectancy for a residential electrical panel is between 25 and 40 years. The time range for the lifespan of breaker panels is so wide because of the extreme variability of circumstances for individual panels. For example, the varying degrees of use between home electrical systems, power surge problems in some areas, and some specific homes, potential defects in panels, among other differences.
In any of the above and other scenarios, an electrical panel older than 25 years puts your home and its occupants at risk. If you prefer not to replace electrical panel equipment because it may function well for another decade or more, you should at least have an electrical inspection performed by a licensed master electrician, to confirm that everything in the panel box is in good working condition.

Jeff was on time, professional and great to talk to. He installed a bathroom exhaust fan/light. Glad i didn't attempt this job on My own, since the old fan had a 3" exhaust tube and the new prodyct i purchased had a 4". So jeff went to Lowes and bought the adapter and then installed it properly. Clean up was done promptly as well. I would highly reccomend DK Electrical Solutions to anybidy needing any type of electrical work or installations.

Jeff was great! I needed help with my mom's house to properly install her new electric dryer and also update many worn outlets. I'm not local and he spent time on the phone with me to walk through everything, explained all the work, helped me prioritize, and got all of the work done same day for a fair price. Overall a great experience!

I was very happy with DK Electrical Solutions. Brendan and his helper came to my house and gave me a quote for the work I needed done and to my surprise Brendan and his helper were the guys that did the work! They replaced my panel, added a generator outlet and interlock kit, ran a homerun for my microwave, separated some circuits, repaired flying splices , replaced connections, secured loose junction boxes and rewired switches in three rooms. The guys did a great job and I couldnt be happier.

Highly recommend this company. From first call to final install I have no complaint. Responded to voicemail fast and set up appointment for a quote. Price was in the range I expected. The work was actually better than I expected. New panel fully and clearly labeled, conduit ran out of the way and right into corners, car charger in perfect location. As a diy guy that’s kinda thrifty (cheap) I’m extra thrilled about the whole experience. No buyers remorse here! Thanks Barry, Derek, great lady in the office and helpers whose names I can’t remember (sorry)!

From the initial appointment, Barry was a great representative of the company. He assessed my situation and was able to recommend a product that would fit my needs and be used for years to come.On the initial install day I was called first thing in the morning re:concerns about the wind and their inability to install. I appreciated this as I would not want anyone to be hurt installing lighting for my home (and I believe there was an actual tornado that night).The next week they came promptly 8 am and finished the install by 10:30. The team was very professional and respectful of my home. I’m so excited to finally have this outside lighting!!! If I have any other electrical needs, I will be contacting them first.

Jeff was the third electrician to look at two electric problems in my home.The first two could not find the problem. But Jeff was enthusiastic and took the time to identify and repair the problems. Not only did he do a terrific job but he is an extremely pleasant and professional technician. He explained exactly what was broken, what was needed to fix it and performed the services for a fair price. I will not hesitate to call DK Electrical Solutions for other electrical repairs and recommend them highly to anyone seeking these services.

Jeff from DK Electrical Solutions did a great job providing the services that we requested. Jeff did such a great job that we found more work for him to come back to perform. Jeff and Dillion returned a second time to install decorative light switches for our living room lights and ceiling fan. They found that the previous owners did not install the ceiling fan to code. They corrected the issue, which could have become a major problem. We will definitely use DK Electrical Solutions and Jeff for any future electrical work we might need, and will not hesitate to recommend them to our family and friends.

DK was very professional from start to finish. They offered me 3 options for replacing my main power supply to (2) meters at a rental property. Each was clearly explained as Good, Better & Best options.Lisa at DK was awesome! She arranged the permit, scheduled inspections and even coordinated scheduling with my tenants for the work to be done! I will definitely use them again.

These guys were fast and on time. They came into a project that I was over my head in and gave me ideas on what should be done to make it ideal for our daughters room as well as safe in an old home.

Barry and his crew were fantastic! I had just bought a new home and needed to upgrade the outlets and switches, now I can control all my light switches from my phone!!! The light fixtures and fans were outdated and Barry helped me chose not only the best fixtures for the spaces but the correct color temperature for the space. They were efficient, educated in their trade and clean. The price was more than fair to have a job done so well. I highly recommend!

I have used almost every handyman and electrical contractor in Cherry Hill for the past 20 years and they were all OK, one or two maybe a little drunk, but I finally found DK Electrical Solutions. What a difference, for the same amount of money. Which is great, I like to get my money's worth, no more, no less. Brendan and Dylan were excellent in completing the job in a timely and professional manner. I am very pleased that they installed the correct size fan in my attic, and explained to me how they developed their experienced, expert opinion, after the 5 or 6 fans that were not installed or sized properly over the years. I will be calling DK up this week as soon as my 4 new ceiling fans arrive, to install for me. What a relief, Thanks Brendan, Dylan and DK Electrical Solutions. Scott Saline

I Want to share a very profesional experience I had with DK Electric and two of their star service techs, Ryan & Tyler. My wife & I couldn't be happier with the results of our kitchen lighting project. The team took great care to involve us in the details of the placement of the fixtures ahead of time to make sure we were going to be happy with the finished results. Ryan & Tyler were a pleasure to have in my home and would definately recommend them.

I called to get to get an appointment for some electrical problems I needed fixed at my house. The woman who answered the phone was polite and courteous and set me up for an appointment for the day I had available. On the day of service, I received a call that they were on their way to my house. Barry and Brendon showed up and got right to work. They are VERY knowledgeable and found and fixed all issues (plus one I did not even know I had with a hidden junction box). Any questions I asked were answered immediately and in terms that were easy to understand. Both techs were very customer friendly and cleaned where they worked. Price was acceptable and around what I thought it would be. If I or someone I know needs electrical work done In the future, I will definitely recommend them/hire them again.
