Electrical Panel Replacement vs Repair

When your electrical panel starts having problems, there is a good chance that the issue is something that can be repaired. Sometimes changing weather can cause wires to become loose or a breaker can get worn out. We always look for the simplest solution first and suggest the most economical services. However, when your safety is on the line, we are never shy about recommending a replacement when it’s something that you need. 

When deciding between electrical panel replacement vs repair, replacements can be the best choice. This often happens when repairs become too extensive or when the panel itself is no longer safe. We also consider how often you are having to call for repairs, how long you have had the panel, and what brand or model your electrical panel is. Older houses may have fuse boxes or panels that are 100amps or less. Some homes may also have electrical panels that were taken off the market because of safety issues. 

Electrical panels that are known to be unsafe are:

  • Zinsco or GTE-Sylvania
  • Challenger or Eaton/Cutler Hammer
  • Federal Pioneer Electric
  • Pushmatic

If you have any of these brands of electrical panels, we will recommend a prompt electrical panel replacement even if the panel is still under 20 years old. In the case of an unsafe device, electrical panel replacement cost is worth reducing the risk of fire or electric shock. 

Electrical Panel Replacement Services

Whether your electrical panel needs to be replaced because of electrical problems or because you are ready to upgrade to a new and more convenient device, we offer the right services and products for you. Here are a few of the electrical panel replacement services we offer in Red Deer. 

Fuse Box Replacement

If you have a fuse box, you probably know the frustration of having to replace fuses every time one of your circuits overloads. Since this can be a frequent occurrence for fuse box owners, prompted by everything from turning on the vacuum to running two appliances at the same time, fuse box replacement can be a relief. We will replace your fuse box with a circuit breaker panel that can handle all of your electrical equipment. 

Electrical Panel Upgrades

Do you have power strips and extension cords on nearly every outlet of your home? Do your lights flicker regularly and do you have trouble with breakers that keep tripping? It may be time to upgrade your service. Most modern homes need a panel that is between 150 and 200 amps to be able to handle everything from your HVAC system to your electronic devices. If you already need an electrical panel replacement, you may want to ask if we recommend upgrading your service, too. 

Electrical Panel Cover Replacement

Sometimes interior components of the panel are still in good condition but you have no cover or the cover is damaged. It’s important to get an electrical panel cover replacement right away if any damage occurs. For your family’s safety, all exposed wiring should be covered. At PASS Electric Inc., we love cleaning up messy electrical panels and making them safer for you and your home.
