Electrical Panel Repair

It usually comes down to what we find during diagnosis: if the panel's bus bars, breakers, and wiring are in good shape and the issue is isolated, like a single bad breaker or a loose connection, a repair is often enough. If the panel is an older or problem-prone type, has widespread corrosion or heat damage, or can't support your current electrical load, we'll usually recommend an upgrade instead of patching a panel that's likely to cause more trouble down the road. We'll walk you through what we see and explain the reasoning either way.

Cost depends on what's actually wrong and how much work it takes to fix safely. A single breaker replacement or tightening a loose connection is a smaller job than replacing damaged bus bars or tracing down a corrosion issue that's spread through the panel. Access to the panel and the age of the equipment can also play a role, since older panels sometimes use harder-to-source parts. We provide a free quote through our Contact page once we've seen the panel, so you know the cost before any work starts.

Buzzing or heat usually points to a loose connection, a failing breaker, or a circuit carrying more load than it should. Those problems can get worse over time, so it's worth having the panel looked at rather than waiting.

We don't recommend it. A breaker panel carries live, high-amperage circuits, and opening the cover to poke around can mean a shock or arc flash risk even for simple-looking issues like a warm breaker. If you notice buzzing, heat, burning smell, or a breaker that won't reset, it's time to call an electrician rather than troubleshoot it yourself.

We look over the panel and breakers to find the cause of the problem, explain what we found, and give you a free quote for the repair before any work begins.
