What Is An Electrical Panel?

An electrical panel, also known as a fuse box or a breaker box, depending on the type of system you have, is the control center for all things electrical in your home. It is a metal box installed on the wall, often in an out-of-the-way location, like a hallway, garage, or basement. Most modern homes use circuit breakers rather than fuses inside the panel to switch power on and off to individual circuits throughout your home. There should also be a switch that controls all of the power to your home.

So, you can understand why the electrical panel is so important! This is where new circuits are added or wired, as well as the source of electricity for your entire home. If the electrical panel doesn’t work, major problems can occur, like electrical fires in the walls. If you suspect something is wrong, contact us immediately for electrical panel repair in Tucson, AZ!

Why Electrical Panels Need Upgrades Or Replacements

There are several different reasons why you might need an electrical panel upgrade in Tucson or the surrounding areas. Let’s walk through some of the most common ones.

Old Age

When an electrical panel reaches about 25 years old, it’s time to get it replaced. This means if your home was first built in the late 1990s or early 2000s, you should start thinking about a panel upgrade if you haven’t gotten one already. Make sure you know how old the panel is when you move into a new home, so you can be sure you understand when you’ll need to replace it.

Not Enough Capacity

A Tucson electrical panel upgrade may be required if your current one can no longer handle the amount of power you use on a regular basis. You may notice your circuit breakers trip frequently or your energy bills have climbed in recent months. This could happen after you add new appliances or purchase new electronics that require constant charging or electricity use.

Older houses in particular may have electrical panels that cannot handle your usage. The 1970s were an extremely popular time for new home construction in Tucson, and if you haven’t re-evaluated your electrical panel capacity since then, you should certainly do so now.

Overloaded

Overloaded circuits are a recipe for electrical fires. If you’ve added new circuits or wiring to your electrical panel yourself to accommodate new additions to your home, you may run into problems down the road. This is why it’s so important to work with a professional electrician, rather than taking things into your own hands.

Signs An Electrical Panel Requires Repair

When it’s possible, we will offer electrical panel repair in Tucson, rather than a full replacement. This will reduce your costs and allow you to keep using your panel for the rest of its predicted lifespan.

Sparking or burnt outlets

A burning smell
Dimming or flickering lights
