F.A.Q.

Frequent Questions

u

Can I Replace My Panel Myself?

NO! Small mistakes can cause BIG problems and pose serious danger to your home and family. Your trained and certified JM Electric technician will:

  • Evaluate your lifestyle and home’s electricity
  • Explain the best panel for your property
  • Install/connect the panel/circuit breakers
  • Test and document your system for code/zoning requirements
u

Is there a difference between a panel “upgrade” vs. panel replacement?

Typically, a panel replacement includes a panel upgrade. It just depends on what you currently have. Panel replacements are highly recommended if your panel has any damage to it, and your new one may be an upgrade to your old one.
u

How Old Is TOO Old For A Panel?

Electrical panels need to be replaced between 24-40 years but we recommend having our electricians inspect your panel if it’s more than ten years old to see if it’s ready for a replacement. If your panel is getting up there in years, give us a call for a free in-home inspection!
u

Is a fuse box still good enough for my house?

Fuse boxes are usually out-of-date. They can’t handle modern electrical loads without placing fuses in them that are too large and can become fire hazards. We recommend having a fuse box replaced with a circuit breaker panel.

u

Is upgrading a panel the same as rewiring a house?

Rewiring is a separate, bigger job. For most homes, when it’s time to put in a new panel, the rest of the wiring will be in good shape and not need any replacements. Replacing the panel is almost always part of rewiring a house since it’s necessary to meet the new requirements. If you’re concerned about your home’s wiring in addition to the panel, ask us to do a wiring inspection.

Hot Tip: Do you have a Federal Pacific brand panel in your home? This brand is no longer manufactured, though never officially recalled even though they have a high failure rate and have been linked to over 3,000 electrical fires. Call us right away to get this panel replaced if you still have one in your home!
