Your electrical panel is the control center of your home, but most people only think about it when the power goes out.
Take a quick minute this week to check yours:
âś… Are the labels clear enough that a family member or house sitter could find the right breaker?
âś… Do you have AFCI or GFCI breakers? Press the TEST button and reset them according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
âś… Does the panel feel warm, make unusual noises, or show signs of discoloration? Those are signs it's time to call a professional.
As temperatures drop and holiday lights start going up, now is a great time to make sure your home's electrical system is ready for the extra demand!
