Signs Your Electrical Panel Needs to Be Replaced

Outdated Panel

If you live or operate out of an older building, you could be working with an older-model circuit panel. For instance, if you have a Federal Pacific or Zinsco electrical panel, you should know that these were very common in the 70s and 80s. While appreciating historical appliances is one thing, you should also know that these popular models of yore were responsible for quite a few house fires. It’s best not to take the chance.Instead, you should have your older circuit panels replaced immediately in exchange for more modern and code-compliant circuit panels. These panels are designed with modern energy use in mind and are safe for use with all current machines and appliances.

Your Panel is Poorly Installed

If you are having problems with your circuit panel and it is a newer or fairly recent model, you may find that the panel was merely installed incorrectly. Perhaps the electrician or contractor who installed the panel was unskilled or untrained. Maybe the person was skilled, but mistakes were made. At any rate, it never hurts to have a professional take a look at your panel, such as the ones at Schlumbrecht’s.

We stand behind our work and can guarantee that our electrical panels will operate as intended for years to come. That’s the Schlumbrecht’s quality guarantee!

Lack of Proper Maintenance

If you have never scheduled maintenance on your electrical panel, there’s no better time to start than the present. We can work around your schedule to examine and maintain your circuit box in an attempt to prevent outright replacement.

However, if your circuit panel does need to be replaced, we will set you up with one of the latest and must trustworthy models. We can also establish a regular panel maintenance protocol to keep your electricity flowing without problems long into the future.

Replacing Your Electrical Panel May Pay Off

A more efficient circuit panel uses less electricity, which you will notice when it comes time to pay the energy bill.

A new panel will give you the energy-efficiency you require while lending you ultimate peace of mind.

A New Panel Can Improve Your Home’s Resale Value

If you own your home, it’s important to increase and maintain your home’s value. Electrical panel replacement will service as an excellent selling point in case you do decide to sell at some point in the future. A new panel might just mean more money in your pocket when your home sale closes.

However, the average seems to be around $2,000 for the typical home electrical panel replacement. But don’t look at it as a heavy bearing cost. Instead, think of all the savings you will receive.

How Our Electricians Replace a Panel

 

Troubleshooting

First, our electricians are trained to root out any issues with your circuit panel. They accomplish this using a trained eye and the latest tools and techniques that we have gleaned in over 76 years in business.
Our ultimate goal is to repair your problem so that you don’t have to undergo full replacement, thus keeping your costs as low as possible. However, you should never sacrifice safety for cost. Therefore, if your panel needs to be replaced, we will notify you when we come to that determination. We will then immediately discuss your options, including the latest circuit panel models for your energy needs.

Replace Old Fuse Box

If your electrical panel does need to be replaced, we will get to work as soon as we come to an agreement. The electrician will begin by disconnecting the electrical meter from your house or place of business to ensure safety. This effectively disconnects the electrical connection, eliminating any danger while working on the electrical panel replacement.
Keep in mind that during this time, your home or commercial establishment will be without power. We will do our best to schedule a replacement so that it’s most convenient for you and your family or business.

After removing the panel and all of the breakers, the electrician will check to ensure that all wiring is sound and grounded. If everything checks out, the new panel will be installed.

Install New Switches

All of the circuits to your home will be replaced to ensure that they are energy-compliant and that they won’t be overloaded once the electricity is free-flowing again. Once installed, the meter will be reattached and each circuit will be thoroughly tested to ensure everything works properly.
Finally, the electrician will label the breakers so that they are easily identifiable in the future, and to comply with all electrical safety codes.

Electrical Panel Warranties
