Many homes in our area still have 100-amp service from decades ago. Those panels, some of which may still have fuses, could adequately power a stove, an air conditioner, and several appliances. These panels have exceeded their safe service life and may have issues such as corrosion, brittle wiring, or loose breakers. Even newer homes may not have adequate electrical panels due to the increase in home media and smart devices over the years.
Sometimes, homeowners don’t realize that their electrical panel is inadequate for their needs. Instead, they may attribute difficulties to faulty appliances or other causes. However, inadequate electrical panels can manifest in ways homeowners may not recognize.
Here are some signs you need an electrical system upgrade:
Frequent circuit breaker trips
Flickering or dimming lights
Discolored or warm outlets
Burning smells
Crackling or buzzing noises coming from outlets or the panel
Electrical panel is hot to the touch
Panel has fuses
Panel is warm or hot to the touch
Panel has scorch marks
Some of these issues, especially those that involve burning smells or signs, indicate a serious problem. Burning or scorching can result in electrical fires. If you notice any of these issues, please contact our company for an immediate inspection. This service can help prevent a disaster in your home. You can count on us to help prevent a potentially serious issue in your home by scheduling an electrical panel replacement.
Panels that are a single fault away from a fire require replacement. Once we thoroughly assess your situation and recommend an appropriate course of action, your electrical system will perform better. The risk of fire from an electrical failure will also drop substantially. With an electrical panel upgrade, you’ll get better support for high-demand devices and greater compliance with electrical standards.
Even if your electrical system appears to run correctly, you may still want to consider electrical panel service. If you have a considerable number of electronic devices or plan to add smart appliances to your home, these will also need higher electrical capacity. Being proactive about your electrical supply will serve you well in the future. Residents who plan to add an EV charging station to their garage should also consider an electrical panel replacement. Most homes don’t have sufficient service to accommodate electronic vehicle charging, so being proactive about your EV purchase can help make home charging easier.
