Signs Your Ohio Home Needs An Electrical Panel Service Upgrade

Unlike the vast majority of appliances, your Ohio home’s electrical service panel won’t break down and stop working entirely. Instead, it’ll see a slow decline in output before finally failing. If you notice any of the following signs in your home, contact Goods Electric, Heating & Air for electrical panel service upgrade services:

Flickering Lights: If the lights in your home flicker when one of your appliances turns on, you’ll want to look into an electrical panel service upgrade, since your current amperage is struggling to provide enough power for your needs.

Discolored Outlets: When your current electrical service fails to provide enough power, it may become overloaded. Extra heat from excessive power may cause your outlets to become discolored, and they may turn a darker shade or even brown.

Buzzing or Humming: Any strange noises coming from your electrical panel, or your electrical system as a whole, is a sign that you need to replace or upgrade it with Goods Electric, Heating & Air.

Frequent Circuit Breaker Tripping: If your circuit breaker keeps tripping when you turn on a high draw appliance, like your washing machine, it means that more electrical current is flowing through the circuit than it can handle. This means it’s time to upgrade your electrical panel to a higher amperage!

Burning Smell: Never ignore a burning smell in your Ohio home, since it could lead to a fire. This odor may be caused by too much current flowing through the wiring, an overloaded system, or a loose connection. If you can see sparks or smell burning, these are clear indications that your electrical system requires immediate attention.

Old Age: If your home’s electrical system hasn’t been upgraded in the last 30 years, you likely have a lower grade service that can’t run as many modern appliances as you’d like. Whether your electrical panel is 30 years old, or you aren’t certain how old it is, it’s a good idea to look into upgrading it with the help of the Goods Electric, Heating & Air experts, since an outdated panel will eventually fail.
