Midlothian Electrical Service Panel Upgrades
People rarely look at their electrical panels, but they’re the most crucial component of your home’s electrical system. And just like any other piece of equipment, it will eventually need an upgrade or replacement, and here’s how to know it’s time.
-
Frequent Breaker Tips
If you're constantly resetting your circuit breakers, it typically means your electrical panel can't handle your home's current power demand. This issue often happens in older panels not equipped to support current electrical loads.
-
Overusing Extension Cords or Power Strips
If you have extension cords strewn about the house or power strips plugged into power strips, it means you need more outlets and possibly an electrical panel upgrade to handle the extra circuits.
-
Buzzing Sounds or Heat
Any unusual noises like buzzing, or if the panel feels warm or hot to the touch, could be a disaster waiting to happen. Call an experienced electrician for an inspection immediately.
-
Age
Electrical panels are generally designed to last 25-40 years. If yours is older than this, it may not comply with current safety standards or be capable of handling modern electrical demands. Aging panels increase the risk of electrical fires and should be inspected and replaced.

Common Electrical Code Violations
Many Midlothian, VA, homeowners who like do-it-yourself repairs think wiring and electrical work is relatively easy. While they might successfully install a GFCI receptacle or wire a breaker box, there could be consequences to deal with down the road.
Here are the most common electrical code violations Woodfin – Your Home Team wants you to watch for.
- Improper Grounding: This is crucial for safety, ensuring excess electricity is properly channeled into the ground. Violations often include not having a grounding or a poorly installed grounding system.
- Overcrowded Junction Boxes: Electrical junction boxes should have enough space for all the wires and connections. Overcrowding can lead to overheating and electrical fires.
- Using Non-Approved Materials or Methods: This includes using electrical components that are not up to code or not following proper installation procedures. Using the wrong type of wiring or connectors is a common example.
- Improper Outlet or Switch Installation: This can include outlets that are not properly secured, lack of GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens, and switches installed in unsafe locations.
