Your home’s electrical panel, also known as a breaker panel or breaker box, is the heart of your home’s electrical system. Its purpose is to circulate electricity efficiently and safely throughout your home. If it’s faulty, your breakers will fail to trip when they should trip, creating a safety hazard.

If your current electrical usage is taxing the entire system, your home’s electrical systems may need a new “heart,” a breaker box or panel, to circulate electricity efficiently and safely throughout your home. Things like excess moisture, tampering and poor manufacturing are other reasons that your electrical panel may need repair or replacement.

The number one reason for repairs and upgrades of electrical panels is safety. The Canadian Electrical Code is regularly upgraded for everyone’s protection. Each Canadian home, including its breaker box, is legally required to be compliant with it.

You will need to repair or replace a panel or any of its parts that have damaged service cables, excess moisture, improper wiring (common hazard is over-sized breakers) and poor manufacturing.  The problem with faulty panels have included breakers failing to trip when they should trip.  The main key to keeping a panel running properly is keeping it up to code and calling an electrician.
