Signs You Might Need an Electric Panel Repair

As a homeowner or renter in an apartment or home, you should know where your electric box is and how to access it. If you don't, you may experience serious problems, including fires. If you know where your electric panel is but are not quite sure what the all of the breakers and switches do, check out this helpful article from Texas Co-op Power. Once you know where it is and how it works, it is easier to assess any of the following issues that may be reason to call in a repairman. 

Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips
If you find yourself resetting tripped breakers, it could mean that your current electric panel is overloaded and unable to handle your home's electrical demands.

Flickering or Dimming Lights
Lights that flicker or dim when using appliances can be a sign that your panel is struggling to distribute power evenly across your home. 

Your Home Still has a Fuse Box
If your home has an older fuse box instead of a circuit breaker panel, it’s outdated and may not meet current electrical standards. Fuse boxes are less safe and often need upgrading.

You Smell Burning or See Scorch Marks
If you detect a burning smell from your panel or notice scorch marks around outlets, it’s a major warning sign of overheating and requires immediate attention.

You Use a Lot of Power Strips or Extension Cords
If you constantly rely on power strips or extension cords, it’s likely because your panel doesn’t provide enough circuits to handle your appliances and devices.

Electric Panel Upgrade Frequently Asked Questions

1How do I know if I need an electric panel upgrade?
Common signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, reliance on power strips, buzzing sounds from the panel, and the panel being over 25-30 years old. If you’re adding large appliances, renovating your home, or upgrading to energy-efficient systems like solar, an upgrade is also recommended.
2What's involved in an electric panel upgrade?
An upgrade involves replacing an old or undersized panel to safely manage your home's electrical load. It’s often necessary if you’re adding large appliances or solar panels, or if your panel is outdated.
3Why should I invest in a new electric panel?
Upgrading your electrical panel ensures your home can handle the increased electrical demand of modern appliances and devices. It improves safety by preventing overloaded circuits, reduces the risk of electrical fires, and can increase the resale value of your home.
4How long does an electric panel upgrade take?
An electrical panel upgrade typically takes about 4-8 hours, depending on the complexity of the job and the size of the system. Additional wiring or repairs may extend the time, but most installations are completed within a single day.
5Do I need a permit to upgrade my electrical panel?
Yes, an electrical panel upgrade usually requires a permit and must comply with local building codes. Your electrician will handle the permitting process and schedule an inspection to ensure the work is done safely and according to regulations.
