Many homeowners and property owners rarely think about their electrical panel let alone an electrical panel installation. For most property owners, the electrical panel is considered a permanent fixture that does not need our interference. In reality, the electrical panel should be monitored regularly and repaired if necessary. It should also be replaced if damaged beyond repair or if it no longer meets the electrical demands of the building. So, how do you know if your electrical panel is no longer the "right size?" In this article brought to you by Mr. Electric of Fort Worth, we will go over exactly this.
Let’s start with the basics. What is the electrical panel anyway? It is that gray box usually found in the garage or utility room. When you open the electrical panel’s lid, you will find either a few columns of circuit breaker switches or fuses. Fuses are outdated, costly, time-consuming, and risky. Most modern buildings have circuit breaker panels instead.
The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.
Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!
Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!
Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!
These circuit breakers each control a specific electrical circuit in the building. When there is unusual activity in an electrical circuit, the respective circuit breaker will trip into the "OFF" position to cut electrical supply to that circuit. You will have to manually turn the circuit back on by flipping the affected switch "ON."
How do you know if your electrical panel is not the right size for your property? We will get to the technicalities in the next section but share some physical signs here.
First, let’s talk about the load size. Each circuit is limited in how much electricity it can maintain. If your circuit breaker is constantly tripping off, then you might have too much loaded on that circuit. Unplugging some of the devices or appliances should help, but this might not be an ideal solution.
We provide reliable, professional electrical services backed by licensed electricians and upfront pricing. Our team is committed to safety, quality workmanship, and on-time service for every job. With trusted local expertise and customer-first care, we deliver solutions you can count on.
Secondly, there is the physical space for breakers. If you are planning to add extra rooms or electrical circuits, then you will need additional circuit breakers as well. That is going to be difficult if you don’t have room in the small electrical panel.
If the circuit breakers are not frequently tripping, then everything is alright – right? Well, not exactly. What happens if you want to install new appliances or fixtures? You want to be sure that the electrical panel will be able to deliver.
Calculating your home’s electrical demands is a tricky one which requires a comprehensive list of all appliances, devices, and fixtures in use or to be used. Most homes require at least 100 amps, but if you rely more on electricity, then you will need something larger.
If you need an experienced electrician to calculate the right sized electrical panel installation for your property, then call Mr. Electric of Fort Worth today. We are happy to inspect your existing electrical panel, make suggestions, and take care of the new installation. Call now to speak with a friendly representative and schedule a convenient appointment.
