Your home’s electrical is a tough place to DIY. It requires skill, care, caution, and most importantly, experience. There can be huge consequences for homeowners who try tackling electrical issues on their own, especially if they’re beginners.

It’s especially difficult to complete larger electrical projects, like installing a new electrical panel. You’ve seen it, the small metal box that lives in your basement or garage. It serves as the distribution center for your home’s electricity, directing it through different circuits to appliances and outlets. The panel also houses your circuit breakers, which are the switches you flip to get the lights back on when the system short-circuits. With all of that electricity flowing in and around this little box, it can be very dangerous to mess with, not to mention the complexity of the project.

Take the worry and stress out of a dangerous task and hire a pro instead, you’ll be glad you did. A professional will also know the current code, which is especially important if you’re updating an older home or working on an addition.

If you’re here, you’re probably in a crossroads. You need a new electrical panel, but you’re not sure where to start, or who to talk to.

If you’re seeing any of the following signs, you could be dealing with a faulty panel:

-A burned plastic smell
-Power loss
-Storm damage
-Flickering lights
-Smoke or humming coming from panel
-Power surges
