Signs it's time for a new electrical panel
-
Circuit breakers that trip repeatedly indicate electrical overloads or panel capacity issues. Modern homes require more electrical capacity than older panels provide, especially when running multiple appliances simultaneously. We evaluate electrical loads and recommend panel upgrades that accommodate current and future electrical needs while improving system reliability and safety.
-
Lights that flicker when appliances start or dim throughout the home often signal inadequate electrical panel capacity. Voltage fluctuations can damage sensitive electronics and indicate dangerous electrical conditions. We assess electrical systems comprehensively and install properly sized panels that maintain consistent power delivery throughout all areas of the property.
-
Any burning odors or visible scorching around electrical panels indicate serious safety hazards requiring immediate professional attention. These warning signs suggest overheating components, loose connections, or electrical arcing that can cause fires. We respond quickly to these emergencies and replace dangerous panels with modern, safe electrical systems.
-
Electrical panels over 20 years old often lack modern safety features and adequate capacity for today's electrical demands. Older panels may utilize outdated breaker technology or fuse systems that are ineffective in protecting modern electronics. We upgrade aging electrical panels with current technology that provides enhanced safety, reliability, and capacity for growing electrical needs.
