Electric Panel Installation

Top-Rated and Reliable Electricians Serving Citrus, Hernando, and Pasco Counties

 
 

An electrical panel is the center of a home’s electrical system, providing reliable electricity for appliances, lights, and electrical equipment. A well-planned and properly installed electrical panel prevents hazardous electrical issues like short circuits and fires to protect the property and electrical components from damage.

When needing a new electric panel installation for a new construction or an electrical subpanel installation for a home addition, the first thing to do is contact a reliable, local electrician.

Mistakes made when installing a new or additional electrical panel can lead to loss of power or frequently tripping circuit breakers. Trained electricians can carefully plan the panel location, select the correct panel size, and install it right the first time so that the new electric panel installation meets the local and national electrical codes and regulations and can accommodate future upgrades.

Benefits of a new electrical panel

  • A new electrical panel works more efficiently and keeps the electrical system running smoothly. It reduces the chance of electrical shocks and other hazards that can damage the home and appliances and put the property at fire risk.

  • An electrical panel can instantly boost the home’s electrical system performance. It helps avoid frequent breaker trips and issues with electrical appliances and equipment functioning. It makes it easier to run appliances with high energy needs.

  • A new electrical panel installation also offers the opportunity to install more outlets for the homeowner’s appliances and devices. Additional circuits and outlets can enhance convenience. The new electrical panel, equipped with the latest technology, can support multiple electrical appliances.

  • Building codes evolve with time. A new electrical panel will incorporate newer technological advancements that align the electrical system with the latest codes, ensuring the safety of the home and the occupants.

Signs You Need a New Electric Panel

  • Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips

    Recurring circuit breaker activations often signal a panel reaching its capacity limits. Our technicians analyze the pattern of trips to determine whether the issue stems from individual circuits or indicates overall panel strain. This comprehensive evaluation examines load distribution, wiring conditions, and breaker performance throughout the system. Professional assessment reveals whether simple circuit adjustments or a panel upgrade is necessary.

  • Flickering or Dimming Lights

    Inconsistent lighting performance often indicates underlying panel issues requiring professional evaluation. Our team investigates the relationship between lighting problems and overall electrical system behavior. We examine circuit voltage stability and analyze load patterns affecting light fixture operation. This thorough approach determines whether panel replacement will resolve persistent lighting fluctuations.

  • Burning Smell or Scorch Marks on Panel

    Burning odors or discoloration around electrical panels demand immediate professional attention. Our electricians carefully inspect for signs of overheating components, damaged wiring, or failing connections. We examine the entire panel for heat damage patterns and compromised materials. This detailed evaluation identifies serious issues while preventing potential electrical fires.

  • Outdated Panel (Fuse Box or Obsolete Brands)

    Aging electrical panels may lack modern safety features and sufficient capacity for current demands. Our team evaluates panel age, manufacturer specifications, and compliance with current electrical codes. We assess the condition of existing components and their compatibility with modern requirements. This evaluation determines the necessity of upgrading to contemporary electrical standards.

  • Not Enough Available Breakers

    Limited breaker space restricts the ability to add new circuits to accommodate expanding electrical needs. Our specialists evaluate current panel configuration and capacity requirements for additional circuits. We also analyze load distribution and space utilization within existing panels. This assessment helps determine whether panel replacement becomes necessary for proper circuit expansion.

  • Overheating or Buzzing Sounds from the Panel

    Unusual noises and excess heat generation indicate potential panel failure requiring professional assessment. Our electricians use specialized equipment to locate temperature patterns and sound sources. We examine connections, bus bars, and overall panel condition. This investigation reveals whether repair or replacement will best resolve panel issues.

  • Home Expansion or Added Appliances

    Property modifications and new equipment installations often necessitate increased electrical capacity. Our team calculates power requirements for additions and evaluates current panel capabilities. We are considering future expansion plans and recommend safety margins. This forward-thinking approach determines appropriate panel specifications for current and future needs.

Electrical panel components

  • Circuit breakers

    Breakers can detect excess electricity and break the connection to prevent damage to the entire circuit. There are various breakers, each noted with the respective amperage they can handle.

  • Panel box

    It is a box that houses the panel’s electrical components. The door has a latch to keep it closed, yet offers easy panel access. Homeowners should keep the panel box closed, especially if kids are in the house.

  • Service switch

    A service switch is a large switch in the panel box that controls the home’s electrical supply. If there is electrical work or an emergency, flipping the main service switch can help cut electrical flow to the house and prevent damage and injury.

  • Wires

    Many wires run from the panel. While not visible in the panel box, wires run behind the scenes from the panel to different home outlets. Homeowners should always hire an electrician for panel wiring work.
