The electrical panel will provide electricity to all of your home’s appliances and gadgets. If your home has an older panel, it may not be equipped to handle the growing demand that the technology in your home is placing on it. Old electrical panels can experience a myriad of issues, including:

• Breakers that trip or fuses that blow constantly
• Defective circuit breakers that don’t trip, leading to fires or shocks
• Flickering lights
• Melted electrical wiring
• They need to turn off an appliance to use another

Old electrical panels can pose a major safety hazard and danger to your family. If you notice corrosion or rust on the panel, crackling sounds from the box, or appliances that don’t run on full power, you may need an electrical box replacement.
Additionally, if you will be renovating your home, constructing an addition, or purchasing a major appliance, you should consider investing a new, energy efficient electrical panel.
