Proactively Maintaining Your Electrical Panel
Maintaining your electrical panel will keep it from being at risk of power outages. Electrical panels are long-lasting and durable by design, as long as homeowners do not neglect maintenance.
There are many common electrical panel issues that go unnoticed until they start causing problems in daily life. Have any of the following ever happened to you?
- It’s hot outside, and suddenly, the air conditioner unexpectedly shuts off
- You enter a room and flip the switch. Maybe it flickers, but it doesn’t stay on
- You turn on the oven to bake, but the oven has turned off when you go to check it
- In the middle of your favorite tv show, the power goes out
A circuit breaker is likely the cause of your electrical issues. You may need to reset it, but if you have not maintained or inspected your panel then there could be an issue with a loose wire or bad breaker causing this problem instead.
Being proactive is better than being forced to be reactive
Homeowners and building owners can avoid most issues with proper preventative maintenance. By performing routine maintenance on your electrical panel once per year, you’ll save money through reduced repairs and increase safety by keeping the connection running smoothly.
