Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system. When it’s having problems, everything else suffers. We repair panels that are overheating, have loose connections, damaged breakers, or other issues that need professional attention.

Panel problems show up in different ways. Maybe breakers trip frequently for no obvious reason, or the panel feels warm to the touch, or you hear buzzing or crackling sounds. These are warning signs that something’s wrong inside the panel. We’ll open it up safely, diagnose the problem, and fix it properly.

Loose connections in panels are a common cause of problems. Over time, connections can work loose, causing arcing, overheating, and potential fire hazards. We’ll tighten all connections, replace any damaged breakers, and make sure everything is secure. We also check for signs of corrosion, water damage, or other issues that need attention.

Technical Specifications

Panel repairs require working on live electrical equipment and must follow strict safety protocols per NEC Article 240 and NFPA 70E requirements. We verify proper panel grounding and bonding, check for proper main bonding jumper installation, ensure all connections are torqued to manufacturer specifications (typically 25-35 inch-pounds for main lugs, 12-15 inch-pounds for branch circuit connections), and verify proper wire stripping and termination. We check for signs of overheating, verify breaker ratings match circuit wire gauges, test breaker functionality, and ensure proper arc-fault and ground-fault protection where required. We verify proper panel labeling, check for adequate working clearance per NEC 110.26, and ensure all connections use UL-listed components. We also verify proper neutral and ground separation, check for proper equipment grounding conductor connections, and ensure the panel meets current code requirements for the installation date.
