❓Todays Question❓
When should I replace my electrical panel?
❗️Answer❗️
Most electrical panels last 20-30 years. Some warning signs of failure are:
▪️Frequently tripping: constantly resetting the cam circuit breakers means the system is overloaded
▪️Strange noises or smells: a sizzling, crackling, or buzzing sound, or a smell of burning plastic, indicates melting wires
▪️Physical damage: rust, corrosion, scorch marks, or a warm metal cover mean the panel is a severe fire hazard
▪️Power fluctuations: lights that dim or flicker when major appliances turn on show the panel cannot supply enough current
