Signs You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade
An outdated or inadequate electrical panel can lead to various problems, from minor annoyances to significant safety risks. Recognizing the signs a panel needs an upgrade is crucial for protecting the home and its occupants.
Here are some key indicators it's time for a panel upgrade:
- Frequent circuit breaker trips: If breakers trip often, even with limited appliance use, the panel might be overloaded or malfunctioning.
- Dimming or flickering lights: Lights that dim or flicker, especially when other appliances are running, suggest the panel isn't providing consistent power.
- Insufficient outlets: Regular use of extension cords indicates the home may lack sufficient circuits, a potential sign of an outdated panel.
- Burning or metallic odors: Unusual smells emanating from the electrical panel are a major warning sign requiring immediate action.
- Visible damage: Inspect for signs of corrosion, rust, or melted wires on or around the electrical panel.
- Outdated panel: Panels over 25 years old may not adhere to current safety standards and struggle to handle contemporary homes' electrical needs.
A modern panel upgrade can significantly enhance the safety and reliability of a home's electrical system. Our electricians can provide a comprehensive inspection and discuss upgrade options.
