Electric Panels FAQs
Can I Do a Panel Upgrade Myself?
No. You should never attempt any DIY repair on your electrical system. Even minor errors can damage your electrical system and cause fires. Also, any DIY electrical repair will put your home in code violation, disqualifying you from insurance. Always leave this job to our electrical contractor in San Antonio, TX, from our team.
Is a Fuse Box Suitable for My Home?
Fuse boxes are outdated and cannot handle modern electrical loads without putting big fuses in them, which will present fire risks. Please replace your fuse box with a circuit breaker panel.
Is Rewiring the Same as Upgrading a Panel?
No, they are different tasks. Rewiring a house is a much bigger job than panel replacement. In most cases, when it’s time to upgrade a panel, the rest of the wiring will be in perfect order and not require any upgrades.
I Live in an Old Home; Do I Need to Replace My Electrical Panel If I Don't Experience Any Problems?
Your electrical panel is overdue for a replacement, so it’s best you start planning and budgeting for one to avoid an emergency.
How Often Should I Have My Electrical Panel Inspected?
We recommend getting your circuit breaker box and electrical panel inspected once per year.
