We know that there is something wrong with the electrical system when the powers go out, but what are some signs of a faulty electrical panel? Spotting the issues before they become problems can save you from a world of hurt.
- Circuit Breakers Tripping: We know that circuit breakers trip when there is a power surge in the circuit, but circuit breakers that trip too often is a sign that you may need a Southlake electrical panel replacement.
- Circuit Breakers Don’t Reset: Flipping the circuit breaker back on should restore electricity into the circuit. If resetting the circuit breaker doesn’t work, then you are dealing with a faulty electrical panel.
- Flickering Lights: If the energy demand on a circuit is too high, there will be cross interference like dimming or flickering lights. This will often happen when you operate a high-voltage appliance on the circuit.
Why You Should Get an Electrical Panel Replacement
As you know, a circuit breaker installation or electrical panel installation is designed to divide electrical supply into manageable circuits with protective circuit breakers for each circuit. Circuit breakers are meant to disconnect circuits in the event of a power surge so that the oversupply of electricity does not burn your wiring, electrical devices, appliances, or building. If you have an old or faulty electrical panel installation in Southlake, then you run the risk of damaging your electronic devices, experiencing blackouts, suffering from electrocutions, or even burning your building down.
Upgrade Your Fuse Box
Many older homes were built with fuse boxes. Fuse boxes serve the same purpose as electrical panels but use fuses instead of circuit breakers to stop the energy flow. When there is a power surge, the fuse blows out and must be replaced. This can get pricey. A fuse box upgrade into a circuit breaker installation can save you money in the long run on material costs. Also, home insurance providers generally charge more for homes with fuse boxes. Call Mr. Electric today to schedule your fuse box upgrade. We look forward to taking your call.
