Electrical Panel Replacement & Repair Near Harvey, LA

Whether for your home or business, your electrical panel regulates how much energy each electrical device receives. The panel is also set to shut off overloaded circuit breakers to prevent damaging appliances or machines and to prevent any risk of fire.If your panel isn’t working properly, you leave yourself open to future (and expensive) headaches and your building may fail code inspection as a result.

To ensure your circuit panel is working properly, regular maintenance should be performed. However, in some cases, your electrical panel may need to be replaced altogether.

At Schlumbrecht’s Electrical, our licensed electricians remain committed to providing you with effective electrical panel maintenance and replacement. If you have rooms that are losing power or are having to constantly fight with tripped circuit breakers, call our toll-free number and we’ll schedule a time to take a look.

These can all be symptoms of issues with your home or business’s electrical panel. If the panel needs to be replaced, know that when you call Schlumbrecht’s you’re always in good hands.

If you live or operate out of an older building, you could be working with an older-model circuit panel. For instance, if you have a Federal Pacific or Zinsco electrical panel, you should know that these were very common in the 70s and 80s. While appreciating historical appliances is one thing, you should also know that these popular models of yore were responsible for quite a few house fires. It’s best not to take the chance.Instead, you should have your older circuit panels replaced immediately in exchange for more modern and code-compliant circuit panels. These panels are designed with modern energy use in mind and are safe for use with all current machines and appliances.

Your Panel is Poorly Installed

If you are having problems with your circuit panel and it is a newer or fairly recent model, you may find that the panel was merely installed incorrectly. Perhaps the electrician or contractor who installed the panel was unskilled or untrained. Maybe the person was skilled, but mistakes were made. At any rate, it never hurts to have a professional take a look at your panel, such as the ones at Schlumbrecht’s.

We stand behind our work and can guarantee that our electrical panels will operate as intended for years to come. That’s the Schlumbrecht’s quality guarantee!

Replace Old Fuse Box

If your electrical panel does need to be replaced, we will get to work as soon as we come to an agreement. The electrician will begin by disconnecting the electrical meter from your house or place of business to ensure safety. This effectively disconnects the electrical connection, eliminating any danger while working on the electrical panel replacement.
Keep in mind that during this time, your home or commercial establishment will be without power. We will do our best to schedule a replacement so that it’s most convenient for you and your family or business.

After removing the panel and all of the breakers, the electrician will check to ensure that all wiring is sound and grounded. If everything checks out, the new panel will be installed.

Install New Switches

All of the circuits to your home will be replaced to ensure that they are energy-compliant and that they won’t be overloaded once the electricity is free-flowing again. Once installed, the meter will be reattached and each circuit will be thoroughly tested to ensure everything works properly.
Finally, the electrician will label the breakers so that they are easily identifiable in the future, and to comply with all electrical safety codes.

Electrical Panel Warranties

Most electrical panels come with at least a year’s warranty. Ask your electrician about the warranties that we offer. If any aspect of your electrical panel should malfunction or break down, let us know and we’ll rush out to fix the problem right away and at your ultimate convenience.
