5 Signs Your Electrical Panel Needs an Upgrade

An ageing or overloaded electrical panel is a safety hazard. Look out for these signs.

1. Breakers trip frequently

Constant tripping usually means the panel is overloaded or a breaker is worn out.

2. Warm or discoloured breakers

Heat and scorch marks indicate loose connections or failing components.

3. A burning smell

Any burning odour from the board needs immediate attention from an electrician.

4. Flickering lights

Dimming or flickering when appliances start can signal an under-rated panel.

5. Old fuse-based boards

Rewireable fuse boards should be replaced with modern MCB/RCBO distribution boards.
