What is Panel Maintenance?

Aging homes and growing power demands could mean the electrical system behind your walls are at the same time deteriorating and becoming overburdened. This is a recipe for disaster, according to the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI). ESFI says the way to avert an unfortunate disaster is to have your home electrically inspected. To help determine if your home needs an electrical inspection, ask the following questions:

Is your home over 40 years old?
Has your home had a major addition or renovation or major appliance added in the last 10 years?
Are you the new owner of a previously owned home?
Do your lights often flicker or dim momentarily?
Do your circuit breakers trip or fuses blow often?
Are your outlet and light switch face plates hot to the touch or discolored?
Do you hear crackling, sizzling or buzzing from your outlets, fuse box or breaker box?
Do you have extension cords and multiple power strips permanently in use around the house?
