As many as 50% of electrical panels present safety concerns for homeowners
May is National Electrical Safety month, and Dixie Electric Company is celebrating it by providing a series of safety tips that homeowners should know. This is the second release with helpful information, and it discusses an important topic: identifying outdated electrical panels that may present safety concerns.
Electrical panels are the heart of any home’s electrical system: it distributes electricity to each room, appliance, and device. They can experience troubles at any age; however, the likelihood increases with time.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, at least 50 percent of the homes today could potentially have an obsolete electrical panel. The signs of an aging and/or outdated panel are sometimes difficult to detect. It could be something as little as a light that continually flickers in a room.
