Whether you have already heard about it or not, big changes are currently happening in the world of home electrical systems– and you just might need to know about these changes!

As of October 2024, ABB officially acquired General Electric’s (GE) residential electrical division, meaning that GE electrical products are gradually transitioning to the ABB brand. But where does that leave you?

For homeowners it is not just about a name change, it is a chance to upgrade your system with some of the most trusted technology in the industry.

For anyone considering electrical panel replacement or an electrical panel upgrade, this transition is a big deal, offering:

  • Seamless Compatibility – ABB breakers are designed to fit into existing GE panels, so upgrading your system is straightforward and easy.
  • Improved Quality – ABB is investing heavily in its product lines, enhancing durability, safety, and performance for today’s modern homes.
  • Trusted Technology – ABB has over 130 years of experience in electrification and automation, making it a reliable choice for homeowners who want peace of mind.

This change means your next electrical panel upgrade is not only easier to plan but also future-proof. Whether you are dealing with an older GE panel or looking to modernize for smart appliances and home offices, ABB is bringing you the innovation, reliability, and top-tier engineering you need to keep your home future proof.
