Don’t wait until a small problem becomes a big one. If you’re experiencing any signs of a failing electrical panel or know you have one of the problematic brands, contact SERVKORE today for a consultation. Our team is ready to help you ensure your home’s electrical system is safe and reliable.
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system, distributing power to every circuit throughout your house. An aging or malfunctioning panel can be a serious safety hazard. Knowing the signs of a failing panel can prevent electrical fires, power outages, and costly damage.
If your circuit breakers are tripping frequently, it could indicate that your panel is overloaded or that there’s a short circuit or ground fault.
Lights that flicker or dim when you turn on appliances may signify that your electrical panel is struggling to manage the power load.
A burning smell near your electrical panel or visible scorch marks on the panel can indicate overheating and a serious risk of fire.
Rust or corrosion on your panel or circuit breakers can compromise the integrity of your electrical system, leading to potential failures.
If you still have a fuse box instead of a modern circuit breaker panel, it’s definitely time for an upgrade. Fuse boxes are less efficient and more prone to fire hazards.
Unusual sounds like buzzing or humming and sometimes even sparking from your panel are signs of loose connections or faulty breakers, which can be dangerous.
Some electrical panels have a notorious reputation for being unsafe. If you have one of the following brands, you should consider a replacement immediately:
Federal Pacific Electric (FPE): These panels have a high failure rate, and their breakers often fail to trip during a short circuit or overload, leading to a significant fire hazard.
Zinsco: Zinsco panels are known for breakers that melt to the main bus bar, preventing them from tripping and causing potential fire hazards.
Challenger: Challenger panels are prone to overheating and can fail to protect your home’s electrical system, posing a significant safety risk.
Pushmatic Panels: These panels are outdated and have a problematic design that makes their breakers difficult to reset and prone to failure.
