Do You Need Electrical Panel Repair?

Electrical panels sometimes require service and repair. An electrical panel is an important part of the electrical system in the house, and for the electricity to work properly the electrical panel also needs to be in good shape. In this article, an overview is given on how to know if an electrical panel is in need of repair.

Failing to repair a faulty electrical panel can be hazardous and even result in fire. At-home electrical repairs are never a good idea and can result in dangerous electrocutions. For more information on how to know if an electrical panel needs repair or service, keep reading to find out more about how to spot issues before they get out of hand.

Is It an Old Electrical Panel?

An upgrade may be recommended for certain older electrical panels to make the house safer or more efficient. At a certain age, an electrical panel will need to be replaced. One of the signs that the panel is getting old is there will be visible signs of aging on the system such as corrosion and rust.

If the system is rusting this is a good indicator that it may be time for a replacement. Rust and corrosion will eventually prevent the electrical panel from working correctly, so it is better to replace it before the problem gets out of control because a faulty electrical panel can lead to house fires.

How to Handle a Burning Smell

If there is a burning smell coming from the electrical panel, the best thing to do is to cut off the electricity and immediately consult a local electrician. A burning smell definitely means that something is wrong, and if the problem is not fixed it will mean that a fire could possibly occur.

To prevent the burning smell from the electrical panel make sure that all maintenance and repairs are up to date. If the burning smell continues, it may mean that it is time to replace the whole electrical panel. It is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to the chance of a house fire.

Flickering or Dimming Lights Could Mean Trouble

If the lightbulb has been changed many times but it still keeps flickering, it is probably because the problem is with the electrical panel and not with the lightbulb.

To save money, consult an electrician right away. If the lightbulbs are continuously going out more money may be spent replacing them than it would cost to have an expert get the source of the problem.

If any of these issues are noticed, it is important to call an electrician right away. Problems with the electrical panel can end in electrocution or house fire, which is why a trusted electrician should take care of any repairs or maintenance.
