Is Your Commercial Electrical Panel Showing These Signs?
Recognizing the warning signs of an insufficient or failing electrical panel and distribution system is crucial for preventing serious issues and ensuring operational continuity. Your commercial property may require service if you notice any of the following:
- Frequent Breaker Trips or Blown Fuses: This is a classic sign that circuits are overloaded or there are underlying wiring issues.
- Flickering or Dimming Lights: Indicates unstable voltage or inadequate capacity, especially when equipment cycles on.
- Panel Feels Warm or Hot to the Touch: A warm or hot panel cover or breakers suggest serious heat buildup, a significant fire hazard.
- Buzzing or Strange Noises from the Panel: Could indicate loose connections or failing components within the panel.
- Outdated or Damaged Panel/Breakers: Old fuse boxes or panels with visibly damaged components are major safety concerns and often lack modern safety features.
- Need for More Outlets or Dedicated Circuits: If you're relying on power strips or wish to add new, power-hungry equipment, your current setup may not have the capacity or necessary dedicated lines.
- Planning Business Expansion or New Equipment: New technology, machinery, or increased occupancy often require significantly more power than your existing panel can safely provide.
Ignoring these signs can lead to electrical fires, equipment damage, and costly interruptions to your business operations.

Whether your panel is old, undersized, or damaged, we provide expert assessment and upgrade solutions. We'll evaluate your current and projected power needs to recommend and install the correctly sized, modern electrical panel that meets all current electrical codes and safety standards.
