Signs You Need Electrical Panel Repairs in Sunnyside

​

If your circuit breakers trip frequently or your lights dim sporadically, you may require urgent electrical panel repairs. Look for these signs that it’s time to reach out to the expert electricians at ACT Electric:

​

  • Tripped circuit breakers: By updating the wiring in your electrical panel, we can upgrade the entire electrical system to support your family’s energy consumption needs.

  • Flickering lights: Do your lights dim when you run the clothes dryer and blow dryer? This could mean that your panel cannot provide the power you need to run modern devices and appliances.

  • Burning smell: If you smell something burning in your electrical panel, shut off the main power and contact our licensed electricians to perform emergency electrical panel repairs.

  • Hot electrical panel: If your electrical panel is warm or hot, reach out to our team to perform an inspection. We’ll provide a comprehensive estimate that includes our recommendation on whether to repair or replace your panel.

​

With a repaired or new panel, you can build in additional functionality. For example, we can also install a whole house generator, wiring it directly into your electrical panel for convenient use in an emergency in Sunnyside. 

​

What Are the Most Common Electrical Panel Repairs?

​

The most common panel repairs include the following:

​

  • Loose or burned wires: To avoid a fire, our electrician will tighten or replace loose or burnt wires.

  • Tripped breakers: If your breakers have too much power flowing through them, they will continuously trip. Our experienced electricians can detect the source of the problem and make the needed repairs.

  • Faulty breaker: The main breaker supplies power to your entire house. A faulty breaker may cause power outages or other problems. Therefore, we highly recommend replacing your main breaker if it stops working.

When Do I Need a Panel Replacement in Sunnyside?

​

Was your electrical panel installed more than two decades ago? Does it no longer meet your family’s needs? If so, consider replacing it. Upgrade your electrical panel if any of these circumstances apply to you:

​

  • The panel was installed decades ago: Electrical panels have a lifespan of about 25-30 years. After that, they may start to malfunction or become a fire hazard. If you don’t know the age of your panel, schedule an inspection with one of our electricians.

  • New appliances short out: Even if you only install Energy Star-rated appliances, they will require more energy than those produced decades ago. Your electrical panel may struggle to supply enough power to your devices and appliances.

  • You have a damaged electrical panel: Have you had a recent flood or fire? Replace your panel if there are visible signs of damage. We serve your electrical needs during home remodeling too.

  • Safety: Does your electrical panel meet current safety codes? If not, let our team replace it.
