Signs It’s Time To Replace Your Electrical Panel
Knowing when to replace your electrical panel can help you prevent safety hazards, power outages, and costly damage to appliances. Here are some of the most common signs it’s time to replace your panel:
- Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips: If your breakers trip often or fail to reset properly, your panel may be struggling to handle your home’s power load.
- Flickering or Dimming Lights: Lights that flicker often can indicate that your panel is outdated or overloaded.
- Burning Odors or Scorch Marks: A burning smell, scorch marks, or warm spots around your panel are serious warning signs of dangerous electrical issues.
- You Have a Fuse Box: Older homes that still use fuses instead of circuit breakers should have the panel replaced to meet modern safety standards.
- Insufficient Power for Modern Needs: If you’ve added new appliances, an EV charger, or a home addition, your old panel might not have enough capacity. Or, if you frequently rely on extension cords, this may also indicate a capacity issue.
- Corrosion or Rust: Any sign of rust or damage on or inside the panel can compromise safety and requires immediate professional evaluation.
- Buzzing or Crackling Noises: Strange sounds from your panel can indicate loose wiring or internal damage.
- Federal Pacific Electric®, Pushmatic®, or Zinsco® Panels: These outdated brands are known to have design flaws that can cause breakers to fail or overheat, creating serious fire and safety risks. If your home has one of these panels, it’s highly recommended to have it inspected and replaced immediately.
If you notice one or more of these issues, it’s best to call a licensed electrician. Our team at Electrical Connections will inspect your system and determine whether you need to replace your panel.
Did you know? Today’s kitchens often use more power than entire homes did 40 years ago. If your panel hasn’t been updated, it may be undersized for your needs.
