The Brains of the Operation

It’s best to think of your electrical panel as the brains of your entire electrical system. While it may exist in a part of the home where you seldom go, it’s job of maintaining your safety is extremely important. All electricity coming into your home filters through your electrical panel and then travels through the wiring in your home (much like your brain sends signals to the nerves in your body) to meet the demand of appliances, stereo and computer equipment, heating and air conditioning and so forth. If your panel is the old “fuse panel type” or even the “Split bus breaker systems” (which were installed right up into the early 90’s in much of the country, it might be time to consider a brain transplant.

If your home was built before 1995 it is a good idea to have an electrical safety inspection performed. It is an inexpensive service that can ensure your home is safe from the dangers of outdated electrical wiring. To schedule an inspection or to upgrade your home’s electrical panel, rely on the professional electricians here at Circuit Doctor.

Signs that Your Home's Electrical Panel Needs Replacement

Often people will notice such instances as flickering lights or receptacles that may work sometimes and not work at other times. This is a symptom of poor connections within your electrical system and when left unattended can lead to extensive damage and ultimately an electrical fire.

Another common sign of an aging circuit breaker system which almost always goes unnoticed is the slow and steady decline in performance. For instance, a new circuit breaker is designed to trip in a fraction of a second if there is a danger of wiring becoming overloaded. This is a safety feature built in for the specific purpose of keeping families and their properties safe. Overloading wiring ultimately leads to fire or electrocution, but aging breakers can lose this ability to trip quickly and in some instances, not at all. This creates a clear and present danger if a problem develops in your electrical system, because a breaker that does not trip or does not trip quickly allows electrical circuits to overheat and may cause a fire.
