Warning Signs

Signs Your Panel May Already Be Struggling

Before you even run the calculator, some homes show obvious signs that their electrical panel is maxed out. If you’re experiencing any of these, call us today:

  • Lights dim when AC kicks on  A classic sign your panel is being pushed to its limits during peak demand.
  • Breakers trip frequently  Breakers tripping often means circuits are overloaded and need attention.
  • Warm or buzzing panel  Heat or buzzing from your breaker box is a serious warning sign — call us immediately.
  • Screw-in fuses instead of breakers  If your panel still has fuses, you need an upgrade today. This is a safety issue.
  • No room for new breakers  If your panel is physically full, you need a subpanel or full upgrade before adding anything new.
Understanding Your Results

What Do Your Results Mean?

You're in the Green

Your panel has plenty of capacity. You can likely add your planned appliance without any upgrades. Confirm with a licensed electrician before installation.

You're Near Capacity

Your panel is getting close to its limit. Adding more load now could cause problems. A panel assessment is highly recommended before you proceed.

Upgrade Required

Your panel is already overloaded or would be with your new addition. A panel upgrade is required for safety and Georgia code compliance. Call us today.
