What Does a Tripped Breaker Mean?
When your breaker trips, it means that too much power was flowing through the circuit, causing the breaker to shut off to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. While tripping breakers are a safety feature, they can be quite inconvenient, especially when they occur in frequently used areas of your home, like the kitchen.
Imagine you're hosting a dinner party, and suddenly, the lights go out, leaving you and your guests in the dark. The culprit? An overloaded circuit breaker. Your circuit breaker panel is the only thing standing between you and an evening of frustration. Don't let an overloaded breaker panel ruin your plans – call Bullseye Electric LLC! Our team of licensed and insured electricians is ready to help you with all your electrical needs, ensuring your home remains safe and functional.
When Should You Get Your Panel Upgraded or Replaced?
There are several crucial times when you should consider having your home's electrical panel inspected and potentially upgraded or replaced. One of the most important times is during any major home renovation or addition. If you're adding new rooms, installing a home theater, or setting up an electric car charging station, your current electrical panel may not be able to handle the increased load. Upgrading your panel ensures that your electrical system can support these new additions safely and efficiently.
Another critical time to consider an upgrade is when you're selling your home. Before a home inspector comes in, it's wise to have your electrical panel inspected by a licensed electrician. Over the years, DIY "upgrades" may have been made that don't adhere to current electrical safety codes. Bullseye Electric LLC can help you avoid costly delays by bringing your panel up to code before the home inspector arrives, ensuring a smooth and successful sale.
Reasons to Have Your Electrical Panels Inspected
Regular inspections of your electrical panels are essential to maintaining the safety and efficiency of your home's electrical system. Here are some specific situations where an inspection is particularly important:
- Home Remodeling: If you're remodeling your home, it's crucial to ensure that your electrical panel can handle the new electrical demands. An inspection will help determine if an upgrade is necessary.
- Higher Amperage Breakers: If you need higher amperage breakers to support new appliances or equipment, an inspection will ensure that your panel can accommodate these changes.
- New Breakers: Adding new breakers to your panel requires an inspection to ensure compatibility and safety.
- Aging Panels: If your electrical panel is more than 20 years old, it's a good idea to have it inspected. Older panels may not meet current safety standards and could pose a risk.
