Electrical panels play a crucial role in distributing electricity throughout your household. They divide the electrical supply into manageable circuits that ‘break’ when a circuit is overloaded, preventing overheating and potential fires. An electrical panel installation is not the end of the road, though. As you install larger appliances and your circuits are loaded with more and more electrical devices, an electrical panel replacement is necessary to keep up with the demand.
In fact, if your electrical panel installation in Grapevine is less than 100 amps, then we strongly recommend you schedule your electrical panel replacement in Grapevine as soon as possible. Overburdening small electrical panels may cause damage that will require an electrical panel repair. To get an expert opinion, call the professionals at Mr. Electric today.
Signs That You Need Electrical Panel Repair or Replacement
As mentioned earlier, if your electrical panel is under 100 amps or if you have recently installed some new appliances that use lots of electricity, then you should consider at least speaking with an expert about a Grapevine electrical panel replacement. Signs that you need electrical panel repair, or a replacement are:
- Circuit breakers trip often or when you plug in a particular appliance
- You have a fuse box instead of circuit breakers
- Burned areas on or around the breaker panel or wall outlets
- Strange hissing sounds coming from the breaker box
- Lights flicker when certain appliances or devices are turned on
- Appliances overheat
Upgrading Your Fuse Box Can Save You Money
Fuse boxes perform the same task as circuit breakers except fuses blow out while circuit breakers “trip” off. Circuit breakers can simply be switched back on, but fuses must be replaced. Therefore, fuse boxes end up being more costly in the long run as you buy new fuses each time one blows out. Furthermore, insurance companies are likely to charge more if your home has a fuse box as opposed to a circuit breaker installation. Ready for your fuse box upgrade? Call the professionals at Mr. Electric to speak to an expert and get started.
