About HomePanelCheck
HomePanelCheck was built by Rahul T., an independent researcher and web developer who got tired of watching homeowners waste money on panel upgrades they did not need — or skip upgrades they absolutely did need — because the available information online was either hopelessly technical or dangerously oversimplified.
Who Runs This Site
HomePanelCheck.com is an independently owned and operated resource, founded and edited by Rahul T. This is not a large editorial organization — it is a single-owner site focused specifically on home electrical panel capacity, EV charging infrastructure, and NEC load calculation. Every article is researched and written with the same goal: give homeowners the same underlying methodology licensed electricians use, explained in plain English.
Our Mission
The electrical panel is the most misunderstood part of the modern home. As millions of Americans buy EVs, install heat pumps, and replace gas appliances, "can my panel handle this?" is Googled millions of times per month — and most answers are either hopelessly technical or dangerously oversimplified.
HomePanelCheck gives homeowners the same load calculation methodology licensed electricians use, in an interface that does not require an electrical engineering degree to understand.
Our Methodology
All calculations use NEC Article 220 — the standard load calculation method recognised across the United States. We apply:
- NEC standard method general lighting loads (3VA per sq ft per NEC 220.12)
- Appliance demand factors per NEC Table 220.55
- Continuous load 80% rule per NEC 210.20(A)
- Motor load calculations for HVAC per NEC 440.6
⚠️ Important disclaimer: HomePanelCheck provides load estimates for informational purposes only. Results are not a substitute for a licensed electrician's full load calculation. Always consult a qualified electrician before making electrical changes to your home. Content on this site is researched from the National Electrical Code, manufacturer documentation, and cited independent sources — it is not written or reviewed by a licensed electrician unless specifically stated on an individual article.
Editorial Policy
Every factual claim on this site — pricing ranges, code citations, brand-specific safety information — is sourced from the National Electrical Code, manufacturer documentation, or independent testing sources, with links provided where available. Pricing information reflects typical 2026 US market ranges and is updated periodically; actual costs vary by region and project specifics. If you find an error or outdated information anywhere on this site, please report it using the contact details below — corrections are made promptly.
Since July 2026, we track limited, anonymous, aggregate usage data from our free panel load calculator (with your cookie consent) — see our Privacy Policy for exactly what is and is not collected. As this dataset grows, we plan to publish our own findings on real-world panel capacity trends, clearly distinguished from content sourced from third-party research like our 2026 home EV charging data summary.
