Breaker boxes, or electric service panels, serve as the connection point between the external wires coming into your home from the street and the internal wires of your home’s electric system. They are usually located in the basement, garage, hallway, closet or pantry. Breaker boxes serve as the central distribution panel that connects the service wires from the outside to the exit wires inside that split off and provide power to all the different rooms and areas of the home and any outbuildings and outdoor lighting. These exit wires are called branch circuits or branch wire circuits. In single-family dwellings, the owner of the home or building owns the electric service panel. Because of this, the homeowner is responsible for all issues related to the electric service panel. We’re here to help you solve any problems related to your electrical panel in the Greater Dayton Area.

4 Signs You Need Electrical Repair Services

Burning Odor

If you smell a burning odor in your home, then it could be that your electrical system is overheating. This puts your home at risk for an electrical fire and needs an electrician’s attention immediately

Sparking

It’s normal to see the occasional tiny spark when you first plug a device into your outlet, but big sparks are a different story. These sparks could be poor wiring connections, water damage to the outlet, or frayed wiring. These issues can lead to severe injury or even electrical fires if they go ignored. If sparking is a problem in your home, then there’s a good chance you need electrical repair work.

Flickering Lights

Flickering lights exhibit poor wiring, faulty switches or outlets, overloaded circuits, or other issues with your electrical parts. These are all issues that warrant a visit from a professional electrician to prevent damage or safety hazards.

Loose Power Outlets

Power outlets usually come loose because the electrical box attached to them was installed too far back in the wall. If it’s too far back, the electrical box isn’t very secure and can jostle or break wires set back in the wall. This can cause sparking, arcs, and fires.

Electrical Panel & Circuit Breakers FAQ

Is it mandatory to label electrical panel circuit breakers?

Yes, labeling circuit breakers and electrical panels is mandatory. The current electrical code requires that electric panels and breaker circuits are to be labeled by a professional. This labeling is essential for the safe operation of the electric panel, especially if there’s ever an emergency. The circuit breakers need to be labeled in such a way that it is easy for anyone to tell what circuit serves where. There should also be a circuit directory on the inside of the panel door capable of enduring much wear and tear. The actual labeling of circuit breakers only takes a few minutes.

Can I install an electrical panel in the bathroom?

In short, the answer is no. When installing electrical conductors or electrical equipment, you should always consider the environment they’re going to be used. For example, electrical conductors needing to be used in a damp environment need to be marked. However, to install a panel in a bathroom, all the electrical components need to be marked for indoor wet locations. This is neither economical, practical nor feasibly. Electrical panels are always installed in locations that are dry and where it’s always protected. These locations should be places where it minimizes the quantity of electrical wiring necessary to reach the other locations in the home.

How can I tell if I need an electrical wiring upgrade?

Electrical wiring upgrades can be tricky and expensive if you don’t find the right expert. Nevertheless, there are times when wiring updates are necessary to protect the convenience, safety and value of a dwelling. There also may be circumstances — like if your house is more than 40 years old — when you need to upgrade electrical wiring for safety, or because the current system no longer supports your needs effectively and efficiently.
Additionally, wiring upgrades might be needed if you’re tripping breakers or fuses repeatedly or you experience flickering or dimming lights.
