The electrical panel is the heart of the electrical system in your home. if the heart (panel) malfunctions or stops working, you could have a big problem. all power coming from your utility comes through this panel. if your home has a fuse panel or an obsolete circuit breaker or even worse still a panel that has lost its UL approval because it doesn’t operate properly, it might be wise to consider a new circuit breaker panel.
One of the common things that people notice in their homes are flickering lights and outlets that don’t work sometimes but do at other times. One of the reasons this happens is that the electrical panel is old and/or may have bad or burnt connection points within it. This is not a good thing. Poor connections, no matter what the reason is, can lead to more damage and possibly lead to a fire.
The other issue with some older panels is that the manufacturers of these panels may have been forced to stop production many years ago by the UL listing authorities because they do not operate properly. these panels are very dangerous. all circuit breakers are design to trip quickly, turn the power off with in a fraction of a second when there is a potential risk of fire or risk of a person getting electrocuted. in most cases , the breakers inside these old, obsolete panels will take a whole minute or more to turn off the power and, in some instances,will not shut the power off at all. There is a very clear and present danger related to having these panels and breakers in your home. Someone could be electrocuted or the panel could cause a fire in your home.
