Tomball's Most Trusted Electricians

As is the case with many homes built before the 1990s, outdated wiring and circuit panels can compromise the safety of you and your family. Many older homes utilize electrical panels and wiring systems that are prone to overheating, overcurrents, and short circuits that can potentially lead to sparks, fires, and explosions. Connecting new appliances to faulty breakers and outdated wiring could overload your electrical system, leading to a potentially dangerous malfunction. Even something as inconspicuous as a flickering light or an outlet that has stopped working could be a sign of a larger problem. Whether your home is aging, you’re planning a renovation, or it’s time to schedule a new home’s first inspection, it is very important to have a licensed and insured technician inspect your electrical system to ensure your home’s electrical system is up to code.

Your home’s breaker panel (also sometimes referred to as a distribution panel, electrical panel, or breaker box) is the heart of all electrical activity in your home. The breaker panel distributes power to each light, socket, and appliance in your home. But if an excess amount of electronics are running on one outlet or in one room, the breaker panel may automatically cut off power to that room upon detection of unsafe energy usage to prevent possible damage or even fire. Older panels may not include this important safety feature, which is why you should check to see if your panel is outdated or has been recalled. If your distribution panel is outdated, you should have it replaced with a safe, new panel as soon as possible.

Over the years, breaker panels age like any other part of your home. Wear and tear, pests, and corrosion are just a few of the possible issues you may face with an older breaker box. Frequent power surges can even lead to internal malfunctions. If you notice black burn marks on the panel or have a circuit that won’t reset, it’s time for an inspection by a licensed electrician, who can then make necessary replacements and updates to your breaker box. Even if obvious signs of wear aren’t immediately noticeable, it’s always best to have your breaker box inspected every few years to ensure the safety of your home.
