Key Signs That It’s Time to Install New Circuits
When you’re planning to add a new device that requires a significant rise in your electrical panel usage, the choice to pursue a new circuit installation may be obvious. However, there are other reasons you may choose to update your circuits, including the declining functionality of your current system. Here are several key signs that indicate your circuits need an update:
- Overloading: When your circuit breaker begins to trip frequently without any additional power demands, it may be time to look into a circuit breaker upgrade. Tripping circuits are the result of an overload or a short. This may occur when your system is dated or if it is being overworked with electricity.
- Power Draw Malfunctions: When your circuit is not performing as it should, adding a significant power draw source such as a fridge or vacuum may result in flickering or dimming lights. This is a clear indication that your circuit is reaching capacity and will be soon needing an upgrade.
- Warm or Hot Outlets or Breakers: If your circuit is subject to too much electrical power, it may result in your breaker and outlets becoming warm or even hot to the touch. This is very dangerous and has the potential to develop into an electrical fire, which is why it is one of the most critical signs that indicate it’s time for a new circuit installation.
