When and Why Do You Need to Replace a Circuit Breaker Panel?
Your circuit breaker panel is responsible for supplying all of the power to your home or business. It may provide between 100 and 400 amps of power depending on the size of your property and the electrical appliances you use. Power comes into the breaker box through the main power line on the street and is split into separate circuits that supply different areas of your home or property. A problem with any of the components of your circuit breaker panel can cause power outages, power surges, interruptions in power supply, electric shock or electrocution, and even an electrical fire. You may also experience damage to your electronics or electrical appliances. A properly installed and maintained circuit breaker panel can last for decades; however, like any other area of your home, it may eventually become too degraded to operate properly or safely. If you notice any of these problems with your home’s electrical systems, you should call our electric service technicians for an electrical safety inspection to see if you need circuit breaker panel replacement:
