Electrical Panel Services in Milwaukee
The electrical panel, often referred to as the breaker box, is the heart of your home's electrical system. It distributes electricity to various circuits throughout your residence and protects against overloads by tripping breakers when necessary. An outdated or malfunctioning panel can lead to frequent power outages and increased fire risk. It may also not support the electrical demands of modern appliances.
Serving the Southeastern Wisconsin area, our knowledgeable and professional team at Burkhardt Heating & Cooling is dedicated to providing expert services to make sure your electrical system operates seamlessly.
If you are having an issue with an electrical panel at your Milwaukee or Southeastern Wisconsin property, call us at (414) 310-6979. We often accommodate same-day calls.
Signs Your Electrical Panel Needs Attention
It's essential to recognize when your electrical panel requires maintenance or replacement. Common indicators include:
- Frequent circuit breaker trips. Regular tripping can signal an overloaded or faulty panel.
- Flickering or dimming lights. This may indicate poor electrical connections or an overburdened system.
- Burning smell or scorch marks: These are serious signs of potential fire hazards and should be addressed immediately.
- Panel age over 20 years. Older panels may not meet current safety standards or handle today's electrical loads.
If you are aware of any of these signs, it's crucial to consult with a professional to prevent potential safety risks.
Professional vs. DIY Panel Replacement
Upgrading an electrical panel is a detailed process that requires expert knowledge and strict adherence to safety regulations. While DIY projects can be fulfilling, attempting to replace an electric panel without professional training poses significant risks, including electrical fires, improper installation, and code violations. Our licensed electricians ensure that your electrical panel replacement is performed safely and correctly, providing you with peace of mind and ensuring compliance with local regulations.
