Electrical Panel Repair and Upgrades in Whitewater
Several obvious issues require immediate professional assessment. Perhaps you notice a persistent burning odor emanating from the panel or visible marks on it due to loose wiring or a failing breaker. These are signs of a serious issue, which are significant fire risks. A quiet hum is normal, but buzzing or popping indicates loose connections and arching.
These complications generate heat and pose a fire hazard. Your panel shouldn’t feel hot either. Overheating is the result of overloaded circuits or a failing component. Watch for signs of rust and corrosion as well. This disrupts the flow of electricity and can cause component failures. Never ignore these problems.
Performance issues also signal the need for repairs or a panel upgrade. While the occasional tripped circuit breaker isn’t a problem, frequently tripping circuits can be because of an outdated or failing panel. When your lights dim or flicker, especially as you turn on major appliances, the panel may be struggling.
Trusted Electrical Panel Services Team
Inconsistent power can damage your appliances. If a breaker feels loose and won’t stay on after tripping, the internal mechanism might have some damage. It won’t be able to provide proper protection. We can inspect your panel, diagnose the cause of these issues, and make the necessary panel repair.
Even higher energy bills can be a warning sign that something’s wrong. A faulty or inefficient electrical panel may cause your system to draw more power than necessary. This leads to an unexplained increase in your utility costs.
You may also have insufficient power. If you add major appliances, such as a hot tub or an EV charger, your panel may not be able to handle the increased load. This puts strain on the system. We can evaluate your electrical system and provide a panel upgrade.
