How to Tell When an Electrical Panel Is Overloaded

An overloaded panel can pose serious risks to your home's electrical system and overall safety. It's important to be aware of the signs that indicate overload, so that you can take prompt action by calling our office. 

Here are some signs to watch out for:

• The breakers are tripping: If you find yourself constantly resetting tripped breakers, it's an indication that your electrical panel might be overwhelmed.
• The lights are dimming: This occurs when the electrical demand exceeds the panel's capacity, causing voltage fluctuations. Dimming lights can be an early warning sign of potential hazards.
• The electrical power is lacking: Insufficient power supply is an indication that your electrical system is struggling to meet the demand, which can lead to appliance damage and other risks.
• The outlets are overheating: If you notice that your outlets feel warm or even hot, it's a sign that they are being overloaded with electrical current. This needs to be addressed immediately. 
• The outlets are buzzing: When excessive electrical current flows through the wiring, it can create a buzzing or humming noise. This noise is a warning sign to call our Jacksonville electrical panel pros. 
• It smells like it's burning: A burning smell is a big tip-off to an electrical problem. Turn off the power immediately and contact us right away, so we can inspect and resolve the issue.

Never Attempt to Repair an Electrical Panel Yourself

Repairing electrical issues on a DIY basis can be tempting, but it comes with significant risks. Here are three key hazards to consider when attempting to repair electrical problems without professional assistance:

• Fire hazards: Faulty wiring, improper connections, or inadequate insulation can potentially ignite a fire. Electrical fires can spread quickly and have devastating consequences, putting lives and property at risk. 
• Safety hazards: Electric shocks from accidental contact with live wires or incorrect wiring can lead to serious burns, heart arrhythmia, or even death. 
• Legal hazards: Attempting DIY electrical repairs without the required qualifications may violate local codes and regulations. Non-compliance can result in penalties, fines, or even restrictions on the use of the property until the electrical system is rectified by a qualified electrician. 

Saving a few dollars on DIY repairs is not worth compromising safety, risking major damage, or facing legal consequences.
