If you notice flickering lights or you need to turn off one appliance to run another, these aren't peculiar features of your older home. You will likely need an upgraded electrical panel. This is because the circuit breakers are getting overloaded, and it won't be long before your breakers start tripping often, or even failing. Melted wires and electrical fires are a real risk in this scenario.

If you are considering improvements that require higher electricity demands, like solar power systems or hot tubs, an electrical panel upgrade is recommended to maintain or improve efficiency, and to ensure overall safety to the system.
