Common Signs You Need Electrical Panel Services
Recognize the warning signs of electrical issues before they become serious problems. If you notice any of these common symptoms, it’s time to call Mountain Pro Electric for a professional inspection and service.
Flickering or Dimming Lights
If your lights flicker or dim when using appliances, your electrical panel may be struggling to distribute power efficiently. This could indicate an overloaded circuit or outdated wiring.
Frequently Tripping Breakers
Circuit breakers are designed to trip when they detect an overload or short circuit. If this happens often, it’s a sign that your panel may be outdated or unable to handle your home’s electrical demand.
Burning Smell or Heat from the Panel
A burning smell, discoloration, or warmth around your electrical panel is a serious warning sign of faulty wiring or overheating breakers. Ignoring this could lead to electrical fires.
Outdated or Insufficient Fuse Boxes
Older fuse boxes weren’t designed to support today’s high-powered appliances and electronics. Upgrading to a modern breaker panel ensures safety, reliability, and compliance with electrical codes.
Overload from New Appliances
Installing large appliances like HVAC systems, EV chargers, or home theaters can strain an older panel. If you’re adding new equipment, consider upgrading your panel to prevent overloads.

Electrical Panel Frequently Asked Questions
What is an electrical panel?
An electrical panel, also known as a breaker box or service panel, distributes electricity throughout your home and protects circuits by shutting off power when issues arise.
How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be upgraded?
Common signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, outdated fuses, or not enough circuits for modern appliances.
How long does an electrical panel last?
Most electrical panels last between 25 and 40 years, depending on factors such as usage, maintenance, and electrical load.
Can I upgrade my electrical panel myself?
No. Electrical panel upgrades should only be done by licensed electricians due to the complexity and safety risks involved.
How much does it cost to replace an electrical panel?
Costs vary based on your home’s electrical needs but typically range between $1,200 and $3,000. We offer free estimates for all panel services.
Do I need to upgrade my panel if I’m installing new appliances?
If your current panel doesn’t have enough capacity, you’ll likely need an upgrade to handle the added electrical load safely.
