The electrical panel (or circuit breaker, fuse box, what-have-you) is the heart of your home’s electrical system. Just like your own heart, you want to keep it healthy. An electrical services upgrade may be in order if you feel your electrical panel is unhealthy and, therefore, unsafe. This decision is not one you want to drag your feet on. An unsafe electric panel poses a very serious risk of fire and electrocution.
If you were experiencing chest pains and felt there was a problem with your heart, you know you wouldn’t attempt to diagnose such a serious matter yourself. Just as you would consult a doctor for your health, seek the advice of the experts at Perfect Electric Repairs, Inc. for any matters in an electrical services upgrade.
You’ll know it’s time for an upgrade if your panel is:
Your Electrical Panel is “too small.”
If you’re experiencing frequent fuse blowouts or tripping circuits, your home or building may need a larger electric panel to handle the amount of power flowing into it.
Your Electrical Panel is Unsafe
Panels that have fuses rather than circuit breakers were probably installed many years ago when homes used far less power. These units are prone to overloading and present fire and shock hazards.
Don’t let various “how-to” websites convince you that electrical service upgrades and repairs are do-it-yourself jobs. There are very serious risks involved with dealing with electricity, especially when upgrading older electrical panels. Take a look at your electric panel, and if you feel that it is unsafe, contact us at Perfect Electric Repairs, Inc.
