The electrical panel in your home or office works throughout the day and night. It’s crucial that the electrical panel is updated and can handle your property’s energy demands. Also known as the circuit breaker box, your electrical panel regulates the flow of electricity. It is designed to interrupt the electricity flow when too much demand is placed on the system. Wear and tear and aging can cause your electrical panel to become unsafe. Mr. Electric of Tipton County provides electrical panel upgrades in Tipton County, TN.

Is My Electrical Panel Outdated?
Older electrical panel models may become outdated and potentially hazardous. Some examples of outdated electrical panels include Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels, Zinsco panels, and Pushmatic panels. These outdated models have been known to cause electrical fires due to manufacturing defects or design flaws. They may also fail to trip properly during overloading or short circuits, putting the building at risk of electrical hazards. It is important for homeowners and building owners to regularly check their electrical panels and upgrade them if necessary. Homes with a fuse box need an updated electrical panel because they cannot handle 200 or more amps, which is required by law.
