Signs Your Commercial Electrical Panel Needs Attention
Older electrical panels tend to experience more frequent issues. Signs of an overloaded or outdated panel include flickering lights, appliances underperforming, and frequent circuit breaker trips. An unreliable panel increases the risk of overheating, which can lead to fires if a breaker fails to trip properly. If your building's panel is over 25 years old, consider an upgrade. Watch out for these common signs that signal it may be time to replace or upgrade your commercial electrical panel:
- Visible rust or corrosion on circuit breakers
- Unusual crackling sounds coming from the panel
- Appliances not running at full capacity
- Interior of the panel feels warm
- Relying heavily on extension cords
- Outlets located near water sources (dishwashers, sinks) posing electrocution hazards
- A 100-amp service, which might be insufficient for certain equipment
- A 60-amp service for your building, which could be outdated
- A split-bus panel or a fuse block panel without a main breaker
