The electrical panel is the critical hub in your house that divides the incoming electrical voltage from the grid into the individual circuits that power your lights, appliances, outlets, and more. The panel not only handles the division of the current, it also protects the electrical system with circuit breakers. If a circuit has a voltage overload, the breaker will trip and stop the flow of electricity.

Because the electrical panel does such a vital job for your home, you’ll need to be vigilant of when something is wrong with it. That way, you can call for repairs from our pros—we know all about handling service for electrical panels in Hart County, GA. Follow along below as we look at signs it’s time to call us to repair (or even replace) your electrical panel.

How Electricians Do Whole-House Rewiring

Monday, August 12th, 2024

The way we use electricity in our homes has changed dramatically over the last several decades. These changes have made some wiring in homes obsolete. There are also types of wiring that were obsolete the moment they were put in, such as the aluminum wiring used extensively in the 1970s as a substitute for copper. 

You may live in a home with extensively outdated wiring, and if that’s the case, the best course of action is to call our licensed electricians and arrange for whole-house rewiring. We will give your house a complete upgrade (probably with a new electrical panel as well) to bring it into the twenty-first century. This means a safer home with a reliable electrical system.

If you’re curious about what happens during whole-house rewiring, follow us below and we’ll give you a guide to our whole-house rewiring services in Franklin County.

The electrical panel is one of the essential components for daily living in your home. However, you probably don’t give much thought to it except when a breaker trips and you have to go to the panel to reset it. This is about as much interaction as most people have with their electrical panel.
