Many homeowners don’t know how to detect issues with their electrical systems. While homeowners can easily resolve minor problems like a tripped breaker or burnt-out lightbulb, knowing when to call professionals for electrical panel replacement and repair is essential. Read more about the signs that you require electrical panel repair below.
Strange odors like burning likely signify a major problem with your electrical panel. If you smell burning while using appliances or home comfort systems, immediately check your electrical panel for active flames.
After ensuring that you are at no immediate risk of fire, call our professionals to inspect your electrical system. Burning could signify issues with the wiring or voltage capacity of your electrical panel.
It’s normal for your electrical panel to “warm up” a little bit while distributing power throughout your home. However, if you pass your panel and feel heat, it could indicate a significant issue. Call professionals to check how your existing panel handles your property’s electrical load and distribution needs.
It’s never a good sign to hear strange noises while operating any home system. Buzzing or crackling sounds from your electrical panel while using home appliances or systems could indicate the onset of an issue.
Expert technicians can inspect the wiring and breaker connections of your panel. Ignoring warning sounds could limit your electrical system functionality permanently or put you at risk for electrical fires.
Rust, corrosion, burn marks, and other signs of physical damage to your electrical panel could indicate major problems with your system. Physical damage usually forms over time from excess electricity consistently coming through your system or failing protective features. Avoid a complete electrical system failure by calling us immediately.
Your breakers trip to avoid damage from power surges or overusing your electrical infrastructure. However, if the frequency of breaker trips suddenly increases, it could be time to call professionals for electrical panel inspection.
Breakers that trip monthly or weekly might not be powerful enough to service the electrical needs of your property. In these cases, you may need a complete electrical panel replacement to increase the electrical load available.
Water should never interact with your electrical systems, outlets, wires, or panel. Unexpected leaks, flooding, and other water damage can cause major problems for your electrical panel.
If your home experiences water damage, call our professionals to inspect all your electrical systems. Avoid touching any components that might have had direct contact with water, as it could put you at risk for personal injury.
Flickering lights might seem like a slight inconvenience. Nevertheless, a couple instances of light flickering can signify major problems with your electrical panel and infrastructure. Call our electricians for a system inspection if you notice your lights flickering.
Most homeowners investigating a system upgrade want to know the electrical panel replacement cost. While there is no standard cost to these upgrades, several factors typically determine the replacement expense. The size of your home, your electrical needs, installation challenges, labor requirements, and additional equipment costs will affect your overall replacement expense.
No, only hire licensed professionals to perform electrical panel repair. While many homeowners consider their own repairs, electrical systems feature dangerous components that could cause damage to your home or lethal injuries. Allow our licensed experts to handle your electrical panel repairs to avoid these issues.
