Is Your Home Prepared for Modern Power Demands?
Many older homes in our area, especially in historic St. Petersburg or Clearwater, were originally wired for a fraction of the electricity we use today. If you are experiencing persistent electrical issues, your panel may be struggling to keep up.
Common signs that you need a professional inspection include:
- A persistent flickering light when the air conditioner or refrigerator kicks on.
- Frequent breaker box tripping interrupts your daily routine.
- Crackling sounds or a burning smell coming from the service box.
- The presence of outdated brands like Federal Pacific or Zinsco, which no longer meet modern electrical codes.
Ignoring these signs can lead to more than just inconvenience; it can pose a serious fire risk. Upgrading your panel provides the peace of mind that comes with knowing your family is protected.
