Electrical Panel Upgrades in Knoxville, TN

Most people don’t think about the electrical panel in their home or business until they experience a problem. The electrical panel is the metal box that houses your circuit breakers, which supply electricity from the main power line on the street to the appliances on your property. If a circuit becomes overloaded or there is a power surge, some or all of your power might go out. You should never try to diagnose a problem with your electrical panel or perform electrical panel repairs on your own. At Mr. Electric of Knoxville, we offer professional electrical panel repairs and electrical panel upgrades in Knoxville, TN and throughout Knox County. Call us today to schedule an electrical panel check-up.

  • Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system. It connects power from the wires coming from the street to the wires inside your home, which power your lights, electronics, appliances, and other electrical systems. The wires in your home are organized by circuits or zones, and the switches in your electrical panel are called circuit breakers. Each circuit breaker carries between 100 and 400 amps of electricity to a specific area of your home. As electricity comes in from the street, it is transformed to the correct amperage of power for each circuit of your home. If there is a problem during this process and too much power is being transmitted to a circuit breaker, a sensor in the circuit breaker will trip, and the circuit breaker switch will flip, shutting off power to that area of the home. This prevents power surges, electrical fires, damage to your electronics and appliances, and electric shock or electrocution.

What Are the Signs You Need Electrical Panel Repairs?

Like any other part of your home, your electrical panel can become degraded over time or damaged by the elements, animals, rodents, or major power surges. Most electrical panels last 20-50 years if properly serviced and maintained. Knowing the warning signs you need electrical panel repairs or installing a new electrical panel can help you avoid health and safety issues in your home. Our highly skilled electrical services technicians have extensive experience diagnosing electrical panel issues and finding safe, efficient, and cost-effective solutions. Call us today if you see any of these signs you need electrical panel repairs:

  • Your lights frequently flicker and/or dim.
  • Light bulbs burn out very quickly or explode.
  • You experience frequent power surges or tripped breakers.
  • Using one appliance makes other appliances stop working.
  • The electrical panel has visible damage, frayed wires, or scorch marks.
  • The electrical panel is hot to the touch.
  • The electrical panel emits smoke, smells strange, or makes strange noises.
  • You hear a buzzing or popping noise from wires or appliances.
  • You get a shock when flipping a switch or using an appliance.

  • If you live in an older home, it’s possible that you need an electrical panel upgrade. During an electrical panel upgrade, we will assess your home’s typical daily power usage, existing amperage, and your plans for your home.

    • You are converting an attic, basement, or garage into a liveable space or workroom.
    • You do not have enough outlets in your home for your power needs.
