Did you know that May is National Electrical Safety Month? It’s the perfect time to shine a spotlight on a part of your home that’s often out of sight—and unfortunately, out of mind: your electrical panel.
At Associated Heating and Air Conditioning, we’re committed to helping homeowners stay safe, efficient, and up to code. This month, we’re encouraging our community to take electrical safety seriously by offering a Free Electrical Panel Safety Assessment. If you’ve never had your panel inspected—or if your home is more than 25 years old—now’s the time.
Why National Electrical Safety Month Matters
Every May, the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) dedicates this month to raising awareness about potential electrical hazards in homes and workplaces. For homeowners, this means checking wiring, outlets, surge protection, and especially the electrical panel, which is the central hub for power distribution in your home.
An outdated or damaged panel isn’t just inefficient—it can be dangerous. Electrical panels are responsible for managing all of your home’s power demands. When they begin to fail, they can spark electrical fires, damage appliances, or expose your family to shock hazards.
Signs Your Electrical Panel Needs an Assessment
Many homeowners don’t realize they have a panel problem until something goes wrong. That’s why preventative assessments are so important. Here are a few common signs your panel may need to be inspected—or replaced altogether:
- Flickering or dimming lights
- Frequent tripped breakers
- Buzzing or crackling sounds from the panel
- Burn marks, rust, or a hot panel surface
- Appliances not running at full power
- You still have a fuse box instead of circuit breakers
If any of these sound familiar, don’t wait for an emergency. Schedule a professional inspection now—especially while it’s free during National Electrical Safety Month!
The Importance of Upgrading Your Panel
Older electrical panels were never designed to handle the electrical load of today’s modern households. Think about all the appliances, devices, and electronics we use now that didn’t exist 20–30 years ago. If your panel hasn’t been updated, you could be putting your home at risk.
Upgrading your electrical panel can:
- Increase your home’s safety
- Allow for future appliance and HVAC upgrades
- Improve energy efficiency
- Add value to your home
- Ensure compliance with local electrical codes
Whether you’re planning a remodel, adding new HVAC equipment, or just want peace of mind, a panel upgrade may be one of the smartest investments you can make.
