If you are not an electrician, you probably don’t pay a great deal of attention to the gray boxes inside or outside the home. Those rectangle boxes are filled with wires and breakers and for the average person, it is a lot of chaos that doesn’t mean a whole lot except that it has something to do with the electricity that goes to the home. When things go wrong with the electric panel, only a trained electrician in Beverly Hills, like those at The Electric Connection, should service the panel. The panel is the hub of the electricity that comes in from the main power grid and distributes it throughout your house.

Most panels will last for decades without any issues. However, there have been several brands and models that have been made in the 90s that are substandard. There are actually some serious safety issues with the panels. It isn’t something you are expected to know, but you can rely on a Beverly Hills electrician to inspect the current panel and let you know if you have one that has been recalled. While the electrician is there, a thorough inspection of the panel can also be performed. This will identify any issues that may be happening.

Another reason to service the electric panel is for an upgrade. Upgrades should only be completed by a certified electrician. Beverly Hills homeowners who need more power to a specific room or need to add a large appliance like a refrigerator, electric car charger or a new air conditioning unit will need to have their panel serviced and possibly upgraded. This is something an electrician can take care of. If you are unsure about the condition of your electric panel or want to have an upgrade performed, give The Electric Connection a call today and schedule your appointment.
