What are Electrical Panels?

First of all, we understand what an electrical panel is, it is also named as load center, main breaker box, distribution board and breaker panel. An electric panel box is a service that accepts electricity into your building and then distributes the electric current to the different circuits of your building. Electric current has been shared to different circuits and is then protected by circuit breakers. Whenever there is an overload of current, the circuit breaks trips off so your electric appliances remain safe. The job of the electric panel is to regulate the current load in your building and keep your building safe, comfortable and prevent it from any damage.

Homes and buildings that are above 20 years of age, these buildings still run on the lower current (60-100 amp), the newer buildings run on higher current (200 amp) these days.

Do I really have to upgrade my Electrical Panel?

The answer to this question is yes because most times when people buy a building, they just assume that the electrical service panel of that building will last as long as the building lasts. This is not true because of the following reasons:

1. Connection loosens with time.
2. Prolonged use can affect the efficiency. In moist places your board can get rusted or corroded.
3. Dust accumulation can also shorten the lifespan.
4. The typical lifespan of an electric panel is 30 to 40 years and when it is well past that age, it becomes necessary to get an electrical panel upgrade. When you carry out proper maintenance and also when you carry out electrical panel repair when you notice a fault, you can most likely increase the longevity of your load center.
