Electrical Panel Installation
At Alokin Electric, we understand the critical role that an electrical panel, often referred to as a breaker box, plays in managing and distributing electricity throughout your home. Your electrical panel serves as the heart of your electrical system, directing power to various circuits while providing essential protection against electrical hazards. If your home is still equipped with an outdated fuse box or problematic brands, upgrading to a modern breaker panel is vital for both safety and efficiency.
Why Upgrade Your Electrical Panel?
Outdated electrical panels, especially older fuse boxes, may not provide adequate protection for your home and its occupants. Furthermore, certain brands like Challenger, Gould, T&B (Thomas & Betts), Zinsco, Federal Pacific (FPE), and Sylvania have been known for significant safety issues. Many insurance companies will not insure homes equipped with these brands due to their unreliable performance and heightened fire risks. For instance, Challenger panels can overheat, while Gould breakers may fail to trip, leading to potential overheating and fires. Zinsco and Federal Pacific panels are notorious for breakers that don’t trip, posing major hazards.
Upgrading your electrical panel not only enhances safety by preventing hazards like electrical fires and circuit overloads, but it also ensures your home can handle the demands of modern appliances and technology. At Alokin Electric, we specialize in replacing old fuse boxes with new breaker panels. Our licensed electricians ensure a safe and compliant installation, adhering to the latest electrical codes.
