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If your home has an older fuse box instead of a circuit breaker panel, it’s outdated and may not meet current electrical standards.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.
