How do I know if my electrical panel is outdated?
Residential electrical service panels take power from the electrical grid and distribute it to the outlets and fixtures in your home. If you experience a power surge, the breakers or fuses in these panels will stop power from flowing through your circuits to prevent damage to your wiring and home appliances. Old, faulty, and malfunctioning service panels can be dangerous. These devices can cause shocks or electrocution and put your home at risk of fire.
