Perhaps your electrical panel has run out of room for an additional breaker. Or it's an older panel that has become unsafe and unreliable due to wear, corrosion, or outdated components. Breakers that trip inconsistently, feel hot to the touch, won’t reset properly, are signals that the panel that has reached the end of its service life and it's time to call Kuhlman Electric™.
Panels that are 20 or 30 years-old no longer meet current electrical codes, which can become an issue during insurance reviews or when selling a home. Some homes have never had an upgrade and are still powered by an antiquated fuse box!
A new panel installed by Kuhlman™ will increase the value of your home, provide better organization, clearer labeling, improved grounding and bonding. But the most important advantage is, modern breaker technology will enhance the safety and reliability of your electrical system. Call Kuhlman Electric™ for professional installation of a modern panel that will serve you and your family now, and well into the future.

Risk #1 - If a 15-amp fuse keeps blowing, frustrated homeowners sometimes screw in a 20 or 30-amp fuse. This allows more current through the wiring than it can handle, leading to overheating and house fires. Breakers are much harder to "cheat".
Risk #2 - Fuses are one-time-use items. You don't know if a fuse is faulty until it fails to blow. Modern breakers have test buttons and internal diagnostics to ensure they are ready to trip.
Risk #3 - When a fuse blows, it can occasionally spray hot metal or sparks. In an old, dusty enclosure, this is a legitimate fire hazard. Breakers contain the "arc" safely inside a sealed unit that prevent any sparking.
Frequent Breaker Trips: Every time you use the microwave and the toaster simultaneously, a breaker in your panel trips, your panel is struggling to handle the load.
Heat or Scorch Marks: A panel should never be warm to the touch. Discoloration or "burn marks" on the breakers or the bus bar are signs of dangerous arcing and fire risk.
Crackling or Hissing Sounds: Modern electrical connections should be silent. If you hear "frying" sounds coming from the box, it indicates a loose connection or failing wire insulation.
Flickering Lights: This often occurs when a high-draw appliance (like an AC unit) kicks on, signaling that your panel cannot maintain a steady flow of current.
Screw-in Fuses: If your home still uses a screw-in fuse box, it is more than 60 years old. These fuse boxes lack the sophisticated safety mechanisms of modern breakers.

Kuhlman will be at your house in the flick of a switch.
And if the switch is broken, we'll be there even quicker!

You can replace your panel without increasing its capacity, but if requested Kuhlman Electric™ will do an electrical load calculation. It takes into account the square footage of your house, plus all the electrical appliances. Then we apply a "demand factor" because not every appliance in the home will be used at the same time. The results will help you determine if your current panel can provide the power you need, or if you should up the amperage capacity of your system.
