Is it Time to Upgrade Your Electrical Panel?
While buildings may be updated and renovated, the electrical wiring is often left unchanged. This can result in insufficient electrical support for modern appliances, which may overload the electrical system due to the growing use of electronic devices and energy consumption. Consider the following questions when evaluating your need for an electrical panel upgrade or replacement:
- Is there a dedicated circuit protecting your computers?
- Do your lights flicker intermittently?
- Are your circuit breakers tripping frequently?
- Do your fuses blow regularly?
- Is your panel box making crackling sounds?
- Are your electrical service conductors overheating?
- Are you in the process of adding new construction or making additions to your business?
- Do you require additional outlets?
- Was an electrical upgrade required by your insurance?
- Are you using multiple extension cords?
- Are your electronic devices operating at less than full power?
- Do you need a 240v circuit?
- Do you need to install a subpanel?
- Do you require a power surge protector?
- Are your outlets only two-pronged and non-grounded?
- Is there a requirement for a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)?
- Would you like to install an Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter?
If you've answered positively to any of the questions mentioned above, it may indicate that your electrical panel needs to be upgraded or replaced to prevent potential hazards. Workplace fatalities statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics reveal that 3% of such incidents in 2007 were caused by fires and explosions, highlighting the importance of upgrading outdated electrical systems. Upgrading your electrical panel can mitigate risks and prevent potential dangers associated with older electrical systems.
