Types of Electrical Panels
Electrical panels come in various forms, each designed for a different function:
- The main breaker panel: This widely used panel serves as a crucial safety mechanism. It can shut off all electrical power to your property during emergencies, thereby preventing potential electrical fires.
- Subpanels: These smaller panels are powered by the main panel and are used to distribute electricity to specific areas within a property. They are especially useful in large properties where the main panel cannot support all necessary circuits.
- Main lug panels: Often utilized as secondary distribution panels, main lug panels receive power from the primary breaker panel. They allow electricity to be shut off externally, offering a significant safety advantage in case of a fire.
- The fuse box: This is an older style of electrical panel that uses fuses instead of circuit breakers to prevent overloads. When the electrical current surpasses the fuse’s capacity, the fuse blows or melts, cutting off the electricity flow.

The Signs Your Electrical Panel Needs Repair
- Frequently tripping breakers: If your circuit breakers trip often, it could be a sign of an overloaded panel or faulty breakers. This issue indicates that the electrical panel can’t handle the current demand.
- Flickering or dimming lights: Lights that flicker or dim unexpectedly can suggest loose connections or an inadequate power supply from the panel. These symptoms not only disrupt your lighting but also point to potential safety hazards.
- Burning smells and scorch marks: A burning odor near your electrical panel or visible scorch marks around it are serious red flags. They indicate overheating, which poses significant fire risks.
- Sparking or arcing: If you notice sparks or hear arcing sounds coming from your electrical panel, it’s an immediate cause for concern. These signs suggest serious electrical faults that could lead to fires or severe damage if not addressed promptly.
- Old or outdated panels: Electrical panels that are over 20-30 years old may struggle to meet modern electrical demands. Outdated panels often lack the capacity to handle new appliances and technologies.
- Buzzing or humming sounds: Unusual noises coming from your electrical panel, such as buzzing or humming, can indicate underlying electrical issues. These sounds are often caused by loose connections or faulty wiring.
- Rust or corrosion: Visible rust or corrosion on your electrical panel is a sign of moisture intrusion and deteriorating components. This can compromise the panel’s integrity and increase the risk of electrical failures.
- Warm or hot panel surface: If the surface of your electrical panel feels warm or hot to the touch, it could be overheating due to excessive load or internal damage. This condition is a serious safety concern and should be inspected immediately.
- Inability to reset the breakers: Difficulty in resetting breakers or breakers that won’t stay reset can indicate malfunctioning components within the panel.
- An inconsistent power supply: Fluctuations in your power supply, such as sudden drops or surges in power, can indicate that your electrical panel is failing. These inconsistencies can damage your electrical devices.
