Need a Panel Upgrade?

How Do You Know If Your Electrical Panel Needs a Repair or an Upgrade?

​

There are a few signs that may indicate that your electrical panel needs a repair or an upgrade:

1. Frequent tripping of circuit breakers or blowing of fuses: This may indicate that the panel is overloading and not able to handle the electrical demands of your home or business.

2. Scorch marks or discoloration on the panel: This may indicate an electrical problem or a potential fire hazard.

3. Old and outdated panel: If your electrical panel is more than 20 years old, it may not be able to handle the electrical demands of modern appliances and devices.

4. Lack of sufficient power outlets: If you find yourself constantly using extension cords or power strips, it may be a sign that your panel is not able to provide enough power to your home or business.

5. Humming or buzzing noises coming from the panel: This may indicate an electrical problem or a potential fire hazard.

It's always best to consult with a licensed electrician to determine if your panel needs a repair or an upgrade.
