How Do You Know If Your Electrical Panel Needs a Repair or an Upgrade?

2. Scorch marks or discoloration on the panel: This may indicate an electrical problem or a potential fire hazard.
3. Old and outdated panel: If your electrical panel is more than 20 years old, it may not be able to handle the electrical demands of modern appliances and devices.
4. Lack of sufficient power outlets: If you find yourself constantly using extension cords or power strips, it may be a sign that your panel is not able to provide enough power to your home or business.
5. Humming or buzzing noises coming from the panel: This may indicate an electrical problem or a potential fire hazard.
It's always best to consult with a licensed electrician to determine if your panel needs a repair or an upgrade.
