  • Your home’s electrical panel is usually a metal box mounted on your wall containing numerous circuit breakers, including a main breaker. These breakers manage the power spread to different sections of your home and monitor the electric current through your home's circuits. Whenever the current surpasses safe levels, your circuit breakers will trip, cutting off power to the circuit.

  • Wear and tear, as well as damage, are expected as your electrical panels age. Our skilled team of electricians can evaluate your panel and suggest optimal solutions. Common signs that you may need repair or replacement for your electrical panel are:

    • Overloading of circuits
    • Overheated electrical panel
    • Burning smell or smoke
    • Frequently tripped circuit breakers
    • Rusted circuit breakers
    • Outdated split bus panels
    • Melted or frayed wiring
    • Outdated 60-amp electrical system
    • Sounds of sizzling or popping

  • If your electrical panel is older than 25 years, it's time for an upgrade. Panels installed before 1990 might carry defects. We recommend updating these electrical panels as soon as possible:

    • The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has identified Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Electrical Panels as a safety hazard necessitating an upgraded electrical panel. Predominant in homes from 1950 through 1980, FPEs exhibit design and manufacturing flaws that can cause electrical fires and shocks.
    • Zinsco panels were withdrawn from the market around the mid-1970s. They feature a flawed design that allows electricity to continue flowing even when the breakers are switched off.
    • As Pushmatic panels age, the breaker switches become increasingly difficult to reset, and they lack a main breaker switch to halt all power flowing into the panel.
    • The earliest variety of electrical panels is a fuse box. Modern homes necessitate up to 200 amps of power or more, whereas fuse boxes can barely handle 30-60 amps.
