Panel Upgrades

Your home’s electrical system centers around the electrical control panel, or breaker box, located in your home. This electrical panel connects your home to power lines fueled by the utility company. Nipper Electric specializes in upgrading and maintaining these panels.

Upgrade Electrical Panel – When & Why
Electrical currents run from the panel to the various circuits throughout your home. Your total electrical usage cannot be more than the amp limit on your panel. While some panels hold enough amp limits for their usage, many other homes with numerous devices might be in need of an electrical panel upgrade. Nipper Electric can help you understand your electrical amp usage and find the perfect fit. Don’t fall prey to the leading cause of residential house fires with a faulty electrical system. Here are some signs that it’s time to upgrade:

• Circuit-breakers trip often.
• Sparking and/or popping when plugging into outlets. Loose wiring can cause this.
• Rust on the electrical panel or meter. A reason might be water leaks.
• Plugs that no longer have a tight fit. This could be a sign of worn contacts which are a serious fire hazard.
• Switches that don’t work well, with lights going on, off, then on again. This is another sign that contacts are beginning to fail.
• Outlets that are giving off any heat.
• Lots of extension cord usage. Too many extension cords can overload your circuit.
