  • Your electrical panel is typically located in a closet, garage, utility room or basement. It has a row of circuit breakers that distribute the electricity from your main power line into smaller lines. These switches may be doubled or tripled together to accommodate the electricity load of large power appliances.

    The circuit breaker switches have numbers that explain the number of amps each brand line carries before it is tripped. You will also see a main power breaker that can switch off the power to the complete electrical system.

  • As electrical panels age, they often show signs of wear and tear. Mr. Electric of Land O' Lakes will check your electrical panel for necessary upgrades. If you’re thinking about home renovations, an electrical panel upgrade is an excellent addition.

    You need an electrical panel upgrade when you add modern devices that need more power. The most common signs you may need an electrical panel upgrade include the following:

    • Circuit breakers trip frequently: Circuits may trip if they try to draw more power than they're designed to carry. If your system overloads often, you may need updates to ensure you don't have too many high-power devices or appliances running on the same circuit.
    • Flickering or dimming lights: Loose connections between the wires and breaker can interrupt the flow of electricity, causing lights to flicker. If your lights look dim, your circuit may have too many devices connected to a circuit.
    • Burning odor: Overworked breakers may become too hot and melt insulation around the wires. A burning smell indicates you may need a breaker replacement.
    • Odd sounds: Loose wires may cause popping, sizzling or crackling. Investing in necessary upgrades can help prevent sparks and other hazards.
    • Overheating: Warm or hot panels can indicate an accidental circuit fault. Professionals can evaluate your electricity needs and upgrade your system accordingly.
    • Rust: Rust can cause metal equipment to corrode, allowing moisture to enter the panel and damage components. Over time, rust may also cause overheating and require system replacements.

    Many older homes have full block panels or split-bus panels with 60-amp electrical services. However, most modern homes require a minimum of 100 amps to power appliances and devices, with 200 often being more advisable.

    Instead of using extension cords excessively, you should upgrade electrical panels to meet your lifestyle needs. The investments help you follow safety standards and protect your home.

Electrical Panel Urgent Upgrades

If your home is more than 25 years old, it may be ready for an upgraded electrical panel. Any electrical panel installed before 1990 may be defective. You can check your panel's nameplate, serial number or manufacturer's information to identify its brand and age.

To simplify matters, you can have one of our service professionals identify the relevant information for your system. The following electrical panels need urgent upgrades, including:

Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Electrical Panel

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission classifies the FPE electrical panel as unsafe. This type of electrical panel was installed in new homes between 1950 and 1980. They may have defects that can increase the risk of electric shocks and hazards.

Zinsco Electrical Panel

Zinsco panels were not installed in any homes after the 1970s. The panels have a defect in their design that still allows power to flow when the breakers are not on. The breaker switches may also melt.

Pushmatic Electrical Panel

Pushmatic electrical panels were made with weak breaker switches. Their design makes it next to impossible to stop complete power flow because they weren't made with a main breaker switch.

Fuse Boxes

Fuse boxes cannot handle the required amps of 200 or more in today's homes. The outdated systems feature many hazards, including electrocution risks. We will replace your fuse box with your home's correct electrical panel system.
