Electrical Panel Replacement in Selma, TX

Just over 100 years ago, electricity was a rare find in the average home. Nowadays, every household has about a dozen appliances, devices, and equipment that run on electric power. All of this power demand depends on a functional electrical system, and the electrical panel installation is the gatekeeper of that power. If your electrical panel installation in Selma is acting up, then call Mr. Electric to schedule electrical panel repair as soon as possible. We also offer electrical panel replacement and fuse box upgrade services.

About the Electrical Panel

The electrical panel, also known as the distribution board of breaker box, is a central hub for the electricity coming into the home or business. It is responsible for safely distributing the incoming electricity to various circuits throughout the building. It is also responsible for cutting off power to circuits that show signs of trouble. For instance, if the electrical panel recognizes a power surge or short circuit in a particular circuit, then the power will be shut off to that circuit.

As you can imagine, the electrical panel is under a lot of pressure and it can become outdated, faulty, or insufficient to handle the growing electrical demands. This is why periodic inspections and timely electrical panel repair is so valuable. Don’t wait until your electrical panel fails. Call Mr. Electric to schedule an annual inspection today.

Signs That You Need Electrical Panel Repair

The electrical panel is a mysterious box for most property owners. The average homeowner may come in contact with the electrical panel only a couple of times a year. However, it’s important to get in the habit of inspecting the electrical panel once a month or so. This way, you can spot issues before they turn into bigger problems.

So, what are some signs that the electrical panel needs to be repaired? The most obvious warning signs are:

A panel that is warm or hot to the touch
Burn marks or discoloration around the circuit breakers or electrical panel
Burning smell
Corrosion, rust, and physical damage on the electrical panel and/or components
Buzzing or crackling noises coming from the electrical panel

Some subtle signs of trouble include flickering or dimming lights, frequently tripping circuit breakers, inconsistent power supply, and outdated panels.

Circuit Breaker Vs. Fuse Box

Electrical panels come in two main types. There is the circuit breaker box and there is the fuse box. They both serve the same function of distributing electricity to varying circuits, but the power-cutoff mechanism is different. With a circuit breaker installation, there are switches in the panel which will flip into the OFF position to cut off power. In a fuse box, the respective fuse will blow out, cutting the flow of electricity.

While simply flipping the circuit breaker back into the ON position will have you back on schedule, a blown fuse will have to be replaced. As you can imagine, fuse boxes are more inconvenient and troublesome. Fuse boxes also come with greater risk, which is why new homes come with circuit breaker boxes. If you have an old home with a fuse box, then call Mr. Electric for a fuse box upgrade.

Our Customers Love our Services

John was on time, explained the issue I was having, offered me a couple of options, and then repaired the switch that was giving me problems, following my preferences of the choices he had given me. He was pleasant, professional, and did a great job. Would not hesitate to use Mr. Electric again!

Sue Trautner

Austin, electrician and his teammate we’re great! Both were punctual, courteous, and very informative in explaining the situation and their recommendations to replace a bad breaker in our panel. There was NO frivolous attempt up-sale to items we didn’t need and they were straight to the point honest in their recommendation. In the end, I would described the customer service Austin and his teammate provided me as, AWESOME! Being a new home owner, I am glad I have found this company and will be using them any future electrical needs!

Mark Flores

Outstanding communication and very professional service. I would highly recommend Mr. Electric. Received both e-mails and texts on appointment to include a photo and short bio of the actual electrician (Brad Mason) who would be doing the work. Wish all home service providers did the same. Brad was on time (actually a few minutes early). He installed 30AMP breaker and associated RV plug in our garage. To avoid any sheetrock repairs it was necessary for him to drop the line to the house electric panel through a wall with foam insulation, with very limited head/body clearance for him to work. No mess left behind from the actual plug installation on another wall.

Rick from Mr. Electric arrived when expected and quickly diagnosed the problem. He recommended a solution and gave us a proposal for solving the problem. We asked when he could do the work and how long would it take. He said he could do the job that day and it would take 4 or 5 hours. The price was reasonable, and we told him to get started. He did a very good job, neat and within the estimated time. The invoice amount for the job was was the same as the proposal amount. We are planning on having Mr. Electric and hopefully Rick do more work in the near future to upgrade our home's 50+ year old electrical system. Photo of our new circuit breaker panel.
