Electricity in its raw state cannot be used in your residential or commercial building in Irvine, CA, which is why it goes through different systems which help to regulate it for use in these buildings. Besides the outdoor regulation systems like transformers which make electricity safe for use, there are other systems used to make sure that the electricity which gets into your home is safe for use, and one of them is your electrical panel.
Also known as a circuit breaker box, your electrical panel gets the electricity that comes from your service station and helps to break it down to the point where it can safely power your equipment. Another important function of this breaker box is that it helps with the proper electricity distribution to various parts of the home without any dangerous concerns that come when wires come together without proper connection.
With all of the benefits of the electrical panel highlighted here, the big question for you is, “is your breaker panel working the right way?” if the answer to this question is No, then you need an electrical panel upgrade.
What Are The Signs That You Need To Replace Your Electrical Panel?
Here are some of the factors which can determine if you need a new electrical panel installation:
Your electrical panel is over 25 years of age or even more: once a panel is past this stage, different factors such as wear and tear, defects, and power surges can cause it to function far less than it should.
Burning smell all the time: if you have burning smells in your breaker panel, the chances that your panel is being pushed beyond its limits is high, leaving you in need of an upgrade.
Tripping breakers: your circuit breaker always breaks to protect your circuits from drawing excessive power, and this helps prevent excessive power from entering into your building. However, this is a sign that you need a panel upgrade because it can no longer cope with your needs.
Lacks enough outlets: if your panel does not have enough outlets for new circuits, you are stranded, leaving you with the option of a power strip which can cause you to overload your electric panel. On the other hand, if you have a panel with limited outlets, you need an electrical panel upgrade.
The addition of new appliances to your home: if you recently purchased new appliances like a bigger refrigerator which consumes more power, your electrical panel can no longer handle these power needs requiring you to opt for an electrical panel upgrade.
Direct damage: if your panel has been directly damaged by overloading or power surges, or other types of damages, then you need an electrical panel upgrade. With direct damage, the best option is for you to opt for a better upgrade rather than a panel service which would only last for a while.
Flickering lights: if you have your lights flickering anywhere in your building, it is a sign that somewhere in your panel is sparking and that you need a panel upgrade.
Rust in your electrical panels: if your electrical panel is rusted, then your connections would fail from time to time, leading to failed connections and, as a result, damaged appliances if your panel Is not upgraded.
