An outdated electrical service panel can cause a variety of electrical wiring problems in a home. Flickering lights, unusual sounds coming from a fuse box, breakers constantly tripping, smoke coming from outlets, or burning odors are just a few of the signs that your service panel needs to be upgraded. Many homeowners overlook their electrical panel as one of their most important appliances. The issue is that a service panel upgrade is always necessary and as important as any other household appliance. They can easily wear out, so if you notice signs that they need to be replaced, it’s time to replace them.
Electrical service panels, unlike other appliances, do not break down and stop working. Instead, they experience a slow decline over several months before succumbing. That is why you should contact the professional electricians at LBS2020 Electric. We can maintain your electrical panel and inspect your electrical system to see if there are any potential problems. We’ll work with you to avoid panel problems because we value your safety and the security of your home. You won’t have to worry about anything if you call us because we can handle any repairs, replacements, or installations you throw at us.
You can also increase the number of outlets in your home by upgrading your service panel. It can also help you save money on your homeowner’s insurance because those who receive an upgrade may be eligible for a discount because they are lowering their overall risk and thus their annual bill. Because they decided to upgrade their existing panel, homeowners may be eligible for rebates and discounts from their local electric company in some cases. Furthermore, if you want to renovate your home or add an addition, you’ll almost always need a new electrical panel. Replacing your panel now could save you a lot of money later, especially if you decide to start a construction project. Appliances that require a 240V circuit, in particular, will always require a panel upgrade. While these appliances back in the day use to be rare, nowadays, dryers, water heaters, and even cars require this type of circuit.
Always Hire a Professional
No matter urgent any electrical repairs seem, it’s never okay to attempt to handle them on your own. Trying to take care of electrical problems without professional training is extremely dangerous. If you or someone else aren’t hurt during your attempt, there’s still a chance that you’ve left something undone that poses a huge risk to you, your home, or your family. In fact, faulty electrical wiring is the number one cause of house fires in the United States, according to the National Fire Protection Agency. So in order to make sure that your home is safe, always rely on a professional for any electrical services.
