Your electrical panel sends power to every circuit in your home. Most panels last for decades, but age, heavier modern loads and wear can turn a panel into a safety problem.
Warning signs to watch for
- Breakers trip often when you run common appliances together.
- Warm, buzzing or discolored breakers or panel cover.
- Rust or moisture inside or around the panel.
- Flickering or dimming lights when large appliances start.
- No room for new circuits for an EV charger, hot tub or addition.
Upgrade or replace?
Sometimes a few new breakers solve the problem. In other cases, a panel or service upgrade is the safer long-term choice — especially if you are adding big loads like an EV charger.
