Have you recently discovered you need new electric panel installation? If so, you may wonder if this is a project you can handle on your own. Even if you are handy, trying to handle this installation alone is never a good idea.

There are even laws in place in certain areas that keep non-professionals from handling this type of installation. Along with the complex issue of installing the new electrical panel, the task may also be dangerous. This is in addition to the ongoing hazards you may face due to incorrect installation.

Signs it’s Time for New Electrical Panel Installation

If the wiring in your existing panel is improperly installed or outdated, you may face an array of issues. In addition to certain inconveniences, such as not being able to add new circuits to the system, a subpar panel may also leave you having to deal with additional expenses, along with dangerous conditions. Some of the specific reasons you should update or replace your current electric panel include:

  • The current panel shows signs of damage or rust, which means it may be deteriorating and pose a safety risk.
  • The circuit breakers have begun to trip more frequently than they did in the past.
  • You have less power going to your wall outlets and lights.
  • Your appliances have been damaged or ruined because of electrical problems.

What to Know About Electrical Panel Installation

When you hire a professional electrician, they are going to take the proper steps to make sure your new electric panel installation is going to last. By using higher quality equipment, such as circuit breakers and panels, there is a lower likelihood they are going to fail. Also, an electrician is going to make sure that the installation adheres to all the code requirements. By adhering to the electrical code, you can feel confident your house is safe and that there won’t be issues down the road.

In addition to this, the electrician is going to test the panels to ensure they are setup properly. They will check the wiring to make sure there’s not a possibility of an overload and find any other potential mistakes that could leave to a disaster in the future.
