Old electrical panels can fail to function normally at any time. However, in most instances, the issue stems from overloading circuits. So, if you are noticing glimmering lights or if you find that you will have to switch off one appliance for operating another appliance in the same circuit, we at Hurican Electrician suggest getting an electrical panel upgrade. However, if the panel starts to malfunction, you will find that the breakers are frequently tripping. Otherwise, if they do not trip, there is a chance of shock hazard to someone. In worst cases, the breaker that does not trip can lead to melted wires, smoke and even fire from overheating. To prevent these major issues we suggest an electrical panel upgrade to our clients.
