FAQ
What is an electrical panel?
Your electrical panel delivers electricity to all your electrical equipment. Your local utility company provides the power that flows into this panel. This electrical power is then distributed out to major electrical branches, then smaller branches. If your electrical panel is working properly, electrical power is shared safely to all of your equipment. A commercial electrical panel also has a “dead front,” which protects live parts from being exposed and sending electric shock to the operator. A malfunctioning electrical panel can cause serious harm to both equipment and people.
When should I check into electrical panel installation or replacement?
You should upgrade your electrical panel if:
- You’ve added multiple high-powered devices or appliances to your building and you notice the panel doesn’t have the capability to provide adequate power.
- Your business is in an older building where there electrical system hasn’t been upgraded.
- Your current electrical devices aren’t functioning properly.
- Your electrical panel has visual signs of excessive wear.
