What are the signs that I need an electrical panel repair?

Your electrical panel distributes power throughout your home and protects your wiring from overloads and short circuits. Over time, wear, outdated components, or increased electrical demand can lead to panel issues. We specialize in electrical panel repair to restore proper function and help prevent electrical hazards. Signs you may need an electrical panel repair include: Flickering or dimming lights , especially when appliances turn on. Frequent breaker trips or difficulty resetting breakers. Warm or hot electrical panel. Buzzing sounds or burning odors near the panel. Outdated panels that can’t support modern electrical needs. If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to call a professional.

Why is my electrical panel making a buzzing sound?

A buzzing sound often indicates a loose wire or a circuit breaker that is failing to trip despite an overload. This is a serious issue that requires immediate attention from a professional to prevent electrical arcing or fire.

How do I know if I need a repair or a full panel upgrade?

If your panel is more than 20 years old, shows signs of rust, or uses a fuse system instead of breakers, an electrical panel upgrade is often safer and more cost-effective. However, if the issues are localized to a specific breaker or connection, a professional repair may be all you need.

Is it safe to repair my own electrical panel?

No. The electrical panel is the highest-voltage area in your home. Attempting a DIY repair can lead to severe shock or death. Always hire a licensed professional for a panel repair to ensure the job is done safely and to code.

How long does electrical panel repair take?

Minor repairs may take a few hours, while more complex repairs or upgrades can take up to a full day.

How often should my electrical panel be inspected?

Panels should be inspected at least once a year. Older homes or homes with higher electrical demands may need more frequent checks.

What is the lifespan of an electrical panel?

Most electrical panels last 20 to 30 years, but increased power needs or safety concerns may require earlier repair or replacement.
