About Your Home’s Electrical Panel

Your home’s electric panel is the primary component of your home’s electrical system. It’s designed to control power distribution among all the electrical devices in your home. In addition, it’s designed to protect your appliances from electrical overload.

Whenever overload occurs, the breakers and fuses in the panel shut off power to these devices. A power shutdown protects them from overheating and from more severe problems like fires. However, if your panel is outdated, it may no longer be able to function as it should. When you add more appliances to your home, your outdated panel may no longer be able to keep pace with higher energy needs.

All of the appliances in your home, such as your television, computers, and other electronic devices rely on on your home’s power sources. An electrical panel is there to regulate power distribution throughout your home. Most older homes in the Burbank and Los Angeles area have not seen panel upgrades in a very long time.

Common Problems with Electrical Panels

Most panels and fuse boxes are located out of sight, usually outside. If everything is working as it should, it’s very easy to forget about your panel. However, over time, problems will become more obvious. There are certain signs that you should look out for to see if your electrical panel is malfunctioning. These include:

  • Flickering Lights
  • Breakers that trip often
  • Power outages after using certain appliances or too many appliances at once
  • Getting shocked
  • Fires and smoke

Checking your Electrical Panel

We strongly suggest doing a visual inspection of your breaker box and taking a look at all of its components. Even if you aren’t having any problems, if you notice any signs of wear and tear, it’s probably time to replace your breaker panel.

Things to Check on your Panel

  • Corrosion
  • Lose Wiring
  • Rust on your circuit breakers
  • If your home has a 100 amp or lower panel it may be insufficient to carry your home’s required electrical load
  • Your panel’s interior heats up
  • Appliances do not work optimally

The Right Time to Upgrade/Replace Your Home’s Electrical Panel

As we fill our home with more electronics, it is generally a good idea to consider whether your home needs an upgrade, especially if you live in an older house and have never completed an update before.

In addition to adding electrical load, there are other reasons why you should consider replacing your electrical panel.

These include:

  • Remodeling and additions to your existing home
  • A mandate from your home insurance company requiring an upgrade
  • Existing problems with your current panel, such as fuses and breakers malfunctioning
  • Rewiring and upgrading your home’s entire electrical system
