An electrical panel is the “brain” of your home or building’s electrical system. At Paragon Electric , we recommend scheduling regular electrical panel inspection services in Plantation, FL. We’ll identify where your panel is no longer up to code and where you may want an electrical panel upgrade. An electrical inspection can also reveal where your system has wear and tear. Dealing with those issues now will make your home safer and can save you money down the line.
"Highly recommend Paragon Electric for all your electrical needs. I called them when I needed to replace my electrical panel in my condo for insurance. They got it taken care of quickly with competitive pricing. I will be using them in the future." - Maritza R.
A common homeowner question concerns how often you should schedule an electrical panel inspection in Plantation. The answer depends on factors like how old your home is and whether there are any major home improvements in your future. A good rule of thumb is to schedule an inspection at least every three to five years.
One reason for routine inspections is that electrical codes are ever-evolving. The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) updates the National Electrical Code (NEC) every three years. The NEC is the basis for the Florida Electrical Code for homes and businesses. As your electrical system ages, it’s a good idea to bring it up to code. Doing so protects the value of your property. It helps you avoid accidents and damages, and it future-proofs your electrical system.
Consider whole-house surge protection, which became code in 2020. Many older homes don’t have surge protection, and you can determine if you do it through an electrical inspection. If you do have a surge protection device (SPD) wired into your panel, you should have it inspected regularly as well. Each time an SPD reroutes an electrical surge, it degrades. Our team recommends replacing an SPD before it no longer protects against lightning strikes and other surges.
During an electrical inspection of your panel, we’ll test all of your circuit breakers. Our electrician can replace any of the breakers that fail the test. We’ll also check the wires connected to them and ensure that there’s no excess moisture that could lead to corrosion.
There are many benefits of scheduling a routine electrical panel inspection:
Peace of mind
Preventative repairs
Higher energy efficiency
Improved property value
Less risk of electrical fires and damage
