Electric Panel Replacement
Your electrical panel (also known as the breaker box) is one of the most important things in your Dallas home. Its main purpose is to circulate electricity throughout your home.
And although it’s rare, old and outdated electric panels have caused fires. Having a Dallas electrician inspect your electrical panel and breakers is always a wise decision.
When to Consider an Electric Panel Upgrade
Your breaker box can get old and start to run inefficiently. It’s tough for older panels to keep up with the higher energy demands of newer technology. Many residential homes have outdated panels that are incapable of meeting the needs of a modern household. For this reason, homes with 100-amp panels are frequently upgraded to 150-amp or 200-amp panels that are built to handle the demands of newer electronics. An inadequate breaker box can cause an overloaded circuit, which can be a major safety hazard to you and your family.
The Cost of Replacing Your Electrical Panel
Replacing an electrical panel is inexpensive in comparison to the damage that can be caused by a faulty breaker box. If you notice signs that your Dallas home’s electrical panel is having problems, such as tripping, rust or corrosion, dimming or flickering lights, or a strong odor, you most likely need an electric panel replacement, and you should act immediately.
