Signs Your Breaker Box Needs an Upgrade

You are Still Using Fuses Instead of Circuit Breakers

Both fuses and circuit breakers are used to prevent overloads in your home’s electrical system, however fuses are an outdated way to manage the flow of electrical currents and weren’t designed to manage the load requirements of newer homes and appliances. Plus, once a fuse blows, it has to be replaced leaving you without power for any part of your home. Also remember that some insurance companies will not cover homes that use fuses because of the potential fire risks.

Circuit breakers on the other hand simply have to be reset if there is a break in the electrical current. They are designed to be safer and they work more efficiently in protecting your home from electrical fires.Seeking the advice of a qualified Fort Worth electrician like APEX Electrical can give you peace of mind about your electrical panel.

If you have a lot of power strips and extension cords in your home or office, you are at a higher risk for overloading your electrical system and even for fire. Upgrading your circuit breaker panel helps you to ensure that each circuit and plug is getting the required amount of power to keep your devices and home safe. (Also ask about our GFCI Installation or installing additional outlets).

When installing larger appliances such as Refrigerators, Dryers & Washing machines or HVAC Systems, you should ensure that your electrical panel can manage the energy consumption needed by your new equipment. At APEX Electrical, our licensed electricians will help ensure that your electrical panel is up to the task.

Faulty wiring is one of the main causes of residential fires in the U.S., so if you notice any of these issues, then it’s time to upgrade:

  • Flickering lights
  • Slight shock when you touch an appliance
  • Sparking when you plug in an appliance or device
  • Discolored, or burnt-looking, power outlets

Considering the long-term safety and value of your home, a properly working and inspected electrical panel will leave you worrying less about electrical safety and enjoying more time with friends and family. At APEX Electrical we want you to be safe and happy.

Electrical FAQs

Yes. Tripping a breaker is a fairly common electrical occurrence that most homeowners face. To reset your circuit breaker, simply look at your breaker box to identify any of the switches that are out of place. All you need to do is flip the switch back to its normal position, and you should be good to go!

Lightbulbs tend to burn out quickly if they are not the proper wattage for the fixture or appliance. Make sure you only use lightbulbs that are the correct power that’s intended for each specific use.

Tamper-resistant receptacles feature “doors” that slide in front of the openings to prevent children from inserting items into the holes and experiencing an electrical shock. These outlets are typically found in homes built after 2008 and are recommended for renovation projects as well.

Yes. Any outlet that can be exposed to the elements must adhere to certain standards and are manufactured with certain weather-resistant features in place.

When the electrical current that passes through a fuse exceeds the limit, it burns a hole in the thin strip of metal. This stops the flow of current and it means you have a blown a fuse. Fuses need to be replaced (not reset).

When the electrical current exceeds the limit through a circuit breaker, however, the breaker trip setting opens to stop the flow of current. Breakers are re-settable by flipping the handle on the face of the breaker.

Low-voltage fixtures include a transformer to reduce voltage (say from 120 volts to 12 volts). The downside to low-voltage fixtures, however, can be higher installation costs. Also, transformers tend to create heat and mounting locations can be tricky.

When you use an electrical appliance, the current flows from your service panel to the device. A grounded wire gives the unused electrical current a safe way back to the service panel so there’s no danger in the event of a short circuit.

Electrical plugs should fit snugly into the receptacle. If you find that your plugs are loose or fall out of outlets, that’s a big indication that it needs to be replaced. Additionally, if you notice that an outlet feels hot or warm, you should call an electrician immediately to address the issue.

GFCI outlets feature to test and reset buttons. These special outlets are designed to shut off in the event of a circuit overload to protect users from electrocution. They should be installed anywhere that poses a risk of electricity meeting water—this includes within six feet of any sink (kitchen or bathroom).

No matter how long you’ve owned your home, it’s never too late to learn new things and make upgrades to outdated electrical outlets. By learning the top electrical FAQs, you can be empowered to make more informed decisions about electrical safety in your home.

First, make sure there are not too many appliances plugged into one circuit, as this can overload it. If it’s just one appliance, unplug it and either replace it or call us to repair it. You could also try connecting another appliance to the problematic receptacle. If it still shows signs of trouble, have the receptacle and or the circuit checked by Apex Electrical in Fort Worth. 

When you protect your whole house from power surges, you’ll protect all of the equipment in it instead of just one piece that’s plugged into a surge protector. This can come in especially handy if you use a lot of electronics or appliances.

LED lights are more expensive to purchase than incandescent lights, but they’re more efficient (they’ll last 50,000 hours instead of 1,200 hours). They also have a lower annual operating cost, which is great for people trying to “go green.”

Yes. Because a ceiling fan is an active load that is heavier than most light fixtures, you need a special mounting box designed for this application. Saddle boxes are usually good for fans up to 35 pounds.

If you notice a smell coming from your outlet or switch, there’s a good chance your receptacle could be damaged. Turn off the power immediately and call Apex Electrical in Fort Worth.
