Electrical Panels
Is It Time To Upgrade Your Electrical Panel?
Your electrical panel is the backbone of your home’s power system, managing the flow of electricity to every outlet, appliance, and light fixture. Prairie Electric specializes in residential electrical panel services, including installation, upgrades, safety inspections, and repairs, to ensure your home remains safe and fully powered.
What is an Electrical Panel?
Often referred to as the breaker box, an electrical panel is the central hub where electricity from the utility company enters your home and is distributed to different circuits. The panel includes breakers or fuses designed to trip when circuits are overloaded, protecting your home from electrical fires or damage.
Over time, panels may wear out, become outdated, or fail to meet the increasing energy demands of modern homes. Ensuring your electrical panel is up to date is crucial for safety and efficiency.
Is Your Electrical Panel Safe?
Faulty or outdated panels are a common cause of electrical issues and can pose significant safety risks. Warning signs that your electrical panel may need attention include:
- Frequent tripping of circuit breakers.
- Burning smells or discoloration around the panel.
- Buzzing noises when appliances are in use.
- Flickering or dimming lights.
- The panel feels hot to the touch.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to get in touch with Prairie Electric.
