Electric Panel Replacement Dallas

Your Dallas home’s electrical panel (also known as the breaker box) is one of the most important things in your home. Its main purpose is to circulate electricity throughout your home.

And although it’s rare, old and outdated electric panels have been the cause of fires. Having a Dallas electrician inspect your electrical panel and breakers is always a wise decision.



When to Consider an Electric Panel Upgrade

Your breaker box can get old and run inefficiently. It’s tough for older panels to keep up with the higher demands for power by newer technology. Common residential homes may have panels that are incapable of handling newer technology. Homes with 100 amp panels are frequently upgraded to 150 amp or 200 amp panels that are built to handle those newer demands of electronics. If you have a breaker box that is inadequate then you can cause an overloaded circuit. That can be a major safety hazard to you and your family.

The Cost to Replace Electrical Panel

The cost to replace an electrical panel is inexpensive in comparison to the damage that can occur from a faulty breaker box. If your Dallas home’s electrical panel begins to show signs that it’s time to upgrade, such as tripping, strong odor, dimming or flickering lights, and rust or corrosion. If you notice these signs or anything unusual occurring  then most likely an electric panel replacement is necessary, and you should act immediately. Call a licensed Dallas electrician to help today.
