Your home’s electrical panel is a crucial component responsible for safely distributing power throughout your home. If the panel isn’t working as well as it should, it can put your family at risk. It can also drive up electricity usage and shorten appliance lifespans. If you have panel issues, consider Fuller Electric for electrical panel repair services in Auburn, WA. If your panel is old, it may be better to consider electrical panel replacement services instead.
Electrical Panel Repair & Replacement
Circuit breakers are a core feature of any modern electric panel. Breakers trip to prevent damage, overheating, and fires due to overloads and short circuits. Unlike fuses, circuit breakers are resettable. Still, they will wear out over time. A common electrical panel repair is replacing breakers that won’t reset or keep tripping because they’re old.
There are other signs to watch for that your panel needs service. A light hum is usually normal, but other noises are not. That includes loud humming, buzzing, crackling, and hammering noises. You shouldn’t notice any odors, and a burning smell is a serious cause for concern. There should never be any corrosion on the panel, either. It indicates that there was or perhaps still is a moisture problem.
When should you opt for electrical panel replacement over repair services? Condition is one factor. If a panel is in poor condition, it’s likely better to replace it regardless of age. As for age, the 25-year mark is when you should strongly consider replacement. At 40 years, replacement is almost always better due to technological advancements.
The first consideration when it comes to electrical panel installation services is the amp capacity. Electricians consider the 150-amp panel to be the baseline for the modern home. There are also 250-amp, 350-amp, and higher-capacity panels for larger homes. How much capacity you need depends on your demand now and how it may grow over the next 20 years or so.
Another consideration for scheduling electrical panel replacement services is whole-house surge protection. It’s now a requirement of the National Electrical Code. If you’re replacing a panel, there’s a good chance you don’t have that level of surge protection. Code requires at least Type 2 protection, which protects against indirect lighting strikes and internal surges. You can also opt for Type 1, which provides enhanced protection against direct lightning strikes.
There are many excellent reasons to upgrade or replace your electrical panel:
- Reduced risk of fire
- Enhanced home value
- Improved energy efficiency
- Increased electrical capacity
- Better protection against lightning
