Electrical Paneling
The Center of It All
Electrical panels are the heart of safely distributing electricity throughout a home or business. The main feeder wires from the electrical service feed the panel and circuit breakers within the panel then distribute the power in individual protected circuits.
Generally the safe life of a panel is about 30 years. Older circuit breakers are not likely to trip when needed resulting in a potential fire or shocking experience.

Modern circuit breakers
Todays panels and circuit breakers have much better and safer technology than older systems do. Arc fault circuit protection not only protects against overcurrent situations, but also protect against small arcs where fires are most likely to start.
It is important to have your electrical panels checked annually to make sure all connections are tight with no signs of arcing ore heat.
