You may wonder what is the purpose of an electrical panel?
Think of your panel as a unit of control. An electrical panel provides electricity to your home and those fun and well needed appliances that you have throughout your home. Your utility company pushes power to those panels to give you electricity. The power branches out into major electrical branches, dwindling into smaller branches in order to distribute power. A functioning electrical panel is key to the safety of your family and your home.
If you’re not living in a modern home, this could mean your panel isn’t safe. You may want to look into having an electrician come to take a look. Contact us for specific panels that have been deemed as dangerous.
In this age, electrical panels are well-designed and safe. Usually panels installed in the 1980’s and prior there’s a possibility it may contain components that are deteriorated and becoming unsafe as time passes. One brand of panel that has been condemned is Zinsco. Most Zinsco panels are obsolete today. However, at one time, they were extremely popular and installed in many regions throughout Los Angeles.
