In every home, the electrical panel distributes power from the electrical grid into the home’s various individual circuits. Modern electrical panels most commonly use circuit breakers in order to regulate electrical flow, with rare exceptions still using fuses rather than breakers. Whether an electrical panel uses fuses or breakers, it is important to have an electrical panel directory written out that details what each circuit supplies power to. The team of experienced electricians at Expert Electric are always ready to help out with setting up your home’s electrical panel directory, either as an independent job or as an addition to any other work we do on your property.
Why Get an Electrical Panel Directory?
There are a variety of incentives to get a panel directory written out for your home. Some reasons include:
1. Saving Yourself Time and Hassle
Having an electrical panel directory that is accurate and up-to-date can help ensure that you are able to easily navigate your home’s electrical circuit in the event of a blown breaker or power outage. Without an easy-to-read panel directory, you will be left flipping breakers blindly while somebody else yells at you from another room to tell you when you’ve found the right circuit.
2. Making it Easier to Work on Your Home
Panel directories also make it easier for professionals to do their job while in your home. While it is not always necessary to disable power to a circuit in order to work on it, a panel directory can ease the workload when it is necessary to do so.
3. Improve Your Home’s Safety
In most situations, a panel directory is an addition of convenience; however, in the event of an emergency, a panel directory can save your home and family from unsafe situations. If an appliance or circuit is failing and needs to be shut off quickly and safely, a panel upgrade can make a big difference in how fast you are able to cut power.
