Your home’s electrical panel regulates all the electricity coursing through your home. Mr. Electric of Garland wants to keep you safe by performing residential electrical panel upgrades for homeowners in Garland, TX. If too much electricity is demanded from a circuit, the circuit breaker in the electrical panel will trip and stop electricity from overloading the wiring in your home. Electrical overloads can lead to fires, and the job of the electrical panel is to break the circuit and regulate electricity to keep your family and home safe. As your home ages, your electrical panel may have difficulty keeping up with your family’s increased electrical demands. Your televisions, gadgets, HVAC systems, computers, and more demand much electricity. Older electrical panels may be unable to keep up, leading to potentially dangerous problems. Learn more about electrical panel upgrades and get in touch with us to request an estimate.
Signs You Require Electrical Panel Upgrades
Knowing some common signs that you need to have your electrical panel upgraded can keep you safe and prevent significant damage. Overloaded circuits are the most common culprit when it comes to problems with your electrical panel. Flickering lights or only being able to use one appliance at the same time are signs of a potential problem. Defective or malfunctioning electrical panels may have breakers that trip often or fail to trip, leaving your family vulnerable to being shocked. Breakers that do not trip can also lead to fires, melted wires, or smoke. Your panel should be inspected if it’s at least 25 years old or if you notice any of the following signs:
- Crackling noises from the panel
- Corrosion or rust on circuit breakers
- Appliances running at less than full power
- Outlets located near water sources without GFCI outlets
- 60-amp electrical service
- 100-amp electrical service but still cannot operate some appliances
- Constantly needing to use extension cords
- Older homes with fuse block panels or split-bus panels with no main breakers
