Lake Oswego Replace Electric Panel
Fuse boxes, split-bus panels, and Federal Pacific panels are outdated or defective. If you have one of these in your house, we recommend replacing your panel regardless of its age. Otherwise, your electric panel could start a fire. When the power goes out, call your energy company. You might be experiencing a routine outage. However, if you experience frequent outages and your neighbors are unaffected, your electric panel could be a possible culprit. Electric panels cut the power to protect your family’s safety.
Pay attention to the timing of these outages. If the lights dim when your furnace activates or you plug in an appliance, your circuit is probably close to overload. Avoid using power strips because they make it easy to accidentally overwhelm your system. Instead, stick to outlets and reduce your energy usage until electricians have looked at your panel. Burning odors, sparks, and a panel that feels warm are precursors to an electrical emergency. If possible, cut the power immediately and avoid touching the panel. A malfunctioning panel could shock you, resulting in burns, fainting, numbness, tingling, seizures, and other symptoms.

Remodeling your home often involves adding or upgrading appliances, which increases your electricity usage. We may recommend upgrading your panel before remodels to ensure that your system can handle the changes. Otherwise, the power might go out when you activate your smart fridge or use your electric vehicle (EV) charger. When you upgrade, we’ll also check your wiring, circuit breakers, and outside meter to ensure they can handle the power supply. If necessary, we may replace faulty wires, adjust your breakers, or even rewire the entire house. Whole-house rewiring increases functionality with additional outlets and switches.
