Electrical Panel and Wiring FAQ's

 

Signs that you need to replace your electrical panel include corrosion, rust, buzzing sounds, and overheating. If you notice these issues, please contact Milton Electric.  

No. We strongly discourage you from replacing your electrical panel yourself, as this is a complex and dangerous project that needs to be left to the experts.  

Upgrading your electrical panel can significantly enhance the safety of your home by reducing the risk of electrical fires and overloads. It also boosts energy efficiency, helping to lower utility bills, and the demands of modern appliances.  

Electrical upgrades help ensure your home’s electrical system is safe by minimizing the risk of short-circuits, overloads, and electrical fires. They also improve efficiency, which can reduce energy costs, and provide the capacity to support the power needs of modern appliances, smart home devices, and other electronics.  

Signs include flickering lights, warm outlets, burning smells, and outdated wiring.  

If you're experiencing power surges, flickering lights, smoke, or fire, it could indicate faulty wiring. The experts at Milton Electric can assess your situation, provide an estimate, and recommend the best solution for your wiring needs. 

Lights can flicker for several reasons, such as loose bulbs or plugs, the wrong type of bulb, or incompatible dimmer switches. However, if these issues have been ruled out and the flickering continues, it could indicate a more severe problem, such as an overloaded circuit, voltage fluctuation, or old or loose wires, which a professional electrician should address to avoid potential dangers.

When a breaker trips, it often pushes out a red or orange tab. Circuit breakers are often in a basement or garage. If you open your circuit breaker panel and see an orange or red tab you can push your tripped breaker back into place. However, if you find yourself frequently having tripped breakers you may have a short circuit or other electrical wiring problems. Contact an electrician today if you are concerned about your tripped breaker.
