Electric Panel Replacement FAQs in Cape Coral, FL
How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be replaced?
Signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, burnt smells, visible rust or corrosion, and if your panel is over 20 years old. An inspection by a licensed electrician can confirm if replacement is necessary.
What are the benefits of upgrading my electrical panel?
Upgrading your panel can improve safety, increase electrical capacity, allow for the addition of new appliances, reduce the risk of fire, and improve your home’s resale value.
Can I replace my electric panel myself?
No. Panel replacement involves working with high-voltage electricity and requires permits and inspections. It must be performed by a licensed electrician to ensure safety and code compliance.
How long does electrical panel replacement take?
Most panel replacements can be completed in one day, depending on the complexity of the installation and whether additional upgrades or rewiring is needed.
Will I need to upgrade my panel if I’m adding a new appliance?
