What is an Electrical Panel?
An electrical panel, often referred to as a breaker box, distribution board, or circuit breaker panel, is a critical component of your home’s electrical system. It serves as the central hub where electricity from the utility company enters your home and is then distributed to various circuits throughout the house. Understanding what an electrical panel is and how it functions is essential for maintaining a safe and efficient electrical system in your home.
Signs Your Electrical Panel Needs to be Upgraded
Now that you recognize the crucial role your electrical panel plays in your home’s power system, it’s important to be aware of the signs that indicate you may need an upgrade.
Here’s What to Look For
Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips
If your circuit breakers trip frequently, it could be a sign that your panel is overloaded and struggling to meet your home’s electrical demands.
Insufficient Amps
Modern households require electrical systems that provide around 200 amps. If your home was built before the 1960s and hasn’t had an upgrade, it may not be equipped to handle today’s power needs.
Use of Fuses Instead of Breakers
Fuse boxes are outdated and offer limited circuits, often just 2 to 4, which is inadequate for modern electrical demands. If your home still uses fuses, it’s time to consider upgrading to a circuit breaker panel, which offers up to 24 circuits and enhanced safety.
Old or Obsolete Panels
Older panels can pose significant safety risks. If your electrical panel is showing signs of age or wear, it’s wise to have it inspected by a certified electrician.
Compliance with Building Codes
Many older fuse boxes and panels do not comply with current building codes, which can also mean that the wiring in your home is not up to standard. This can impact not only safety but also the resale value of your property.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to call Markel Electric. Our certified electricians can assess your current system and recommend necessary upgrades to ensure your home’s electrical system is safe, efficient, and up to code.
