Question 5

How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be replaced?

Common signs include breakers that trip frequently, a panel that feels warm to the touch, flickering lights, or a panel that is 25 or more years old. If you have a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, replace it immediately — these are known fire hazards. Call us for a panel assessment.
