St. Augustine Electrical Panel Services

Electrical Panel Pros Serving St. Johns & Putnam Counties

An electrical panel, often called the breaker box, is the heart of your home or business electrical system. It controls the flow of electricity, safely distributing power to circuits that supply lighting, appliances, outlets, and other devices. Circuit breakers inside the panel detect electrical faults like overloads or short circuits and automatically shut off power to prevent hazards.

Our licensed and certified electricians at Artic Air Home Services bring over four generations of trusted experience serving Northeast Florida. We specialize in residential and commercial electrical panel installations, repairs, and upgrades tailored to your unique electrical needs. Whether you need to increase your electrical capacity or replace an outdated panel, we provide professional services that comply with all local codes.

Signs Your Electrical Panel or Circuit Breakers Need Repairs

Timely repairs for your home or business’s electrical system are essential to maintain safety and avoid unexpected disruptions. Over time, electrical panels and circuit breakers can develop issues that compromise their ability to manage and distribute electricity effectively. Ignoring these problems can lead to serious hazards, including electrical fires, damaged appliances, or even harm to individuals.

Give our electricians at Artic Air Home Services a call if you notice any of the following signs of trouble:

Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips. If your circuit breakers are constantly tripping, it could signal an issue with your electrical panel or overloaded circuits. This often happens when circuits are drawing more power than they can handle, which can wear out the breaker over time. Without repairs, this repeated stress could result in overheating or failure of your electrical system.
Burning Smell Near Your Electrical Panel. A burnt or smoky odor coming from your breaker box is a red flag. This could mean that wiring or connections within your panel are overheating, posing a fire risk. Immediate action is crucial to prevent potential damage or more severe safety concerns.
Buzzing or Crackling Sounds. Unusual noises like buzzing or crackling from the electrical panel often indicate loose connections, arcing, or internal damage. These sounds suggest that electricity isn’t flowing properly, which can lead to overheating, electrical sparks, or even fires if unaddressed.
Visible Signs of Damage or Corrosion. If you notice rust, discoloration, or visible damage on or around your panel, it may signal water infiltration or deteriorating components. This can compromise your panel’s functionality, increasing the risk of shorts or malfunctioning breakers.
Lights Flickering or Dimming Frequently. Flickering lights, especially when using certain appliances, can mean your panel isn’t handling the electrical load efficiently. This could stem from outdated equipment, loose wiring, or insufficient amperage that needs professional attention.
Breakers That Won’t Reset. A breaker that trips and cannot reset might indicate a more serious problem, such as a persistent fault in the wiring or an issue within the panel itself. This can leave parts of your home or business without power and increase the risk of overheating in affected circuits.
Overheating or Warm Panel. If the surface of your electrical panel feels unusually warm, it could point to overloaded circuits, faulty breakers, or poor connections. Heat buildup is a warning sign that the system is under stress and at risk of failure or fire.

What Should I Consider When Replacing My Electrical Panel or Circuit Breakers?

Having expert guidance can make the process of choosing a new electrical panel or new circuit breakers smooth and stress-free. Every home or business has unique energy needs, and choosing the right components is key to maintaining a safe and efficient electrical system. With personalized support from our friendly electricians, you can feel confident in selecting the right upgrades for your property.

Below are some important factors we can help you consider when replacing an electrical panel or replacing circuit breakers:

Electrical Capacity Requirements. We can assess your current and future energy needs to determine the right amperage for your panel. Modern homes typically require panels with at least 200 amps, while businesses may need even higher capacity. Evaluating your energy use helps avoid overloading circuits and equips your panel to handle new appliances, machinery, or expansions.
Safety Standards & Compliance. Replacing outdated panels or circuit breakers provides an opportunity to meet current safety codes and local regulations.
Future Growth & Expansion. If you’re planning renovations, adding new appliances, or expanding your home or business, choose a panel that can accommodate increased electrical demand. Opting for a system that supports growth avoids the need for frequent upgrades, saving time and money in the future.
Type of Circuit Breakers. Circuit breakers come in various styles, including standard, GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter), and AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter), each designed for specific purposes. We can help you select the appropriate type for different circuits to enhance the functionality and safety of your system.
Budget & Cost. Replacement costs vary depending on the panel’s size, features, and complexity of installation. We can help you factor in both immediate costs and long-term benefits, such as energy efficiency and reduced maintenance. Our professionals can assist in finding a solution that balances performance and affordability without compromising quality.

Choosing our St. Augustine electrical panel services means you can expect a safe and efficient installation process. Our licensed electricians can assess your property’s unique requirements, recommend suitable equipment, and complete the work to meet all electrical codes and standards, giving you peace of mind throughout the upgrade.

In addition to the technical considerations, it’s essential to consider the environmental impact of your choice. Investing in energy-efficient panels and breakers not only helps reduce your carbon footprint but can also translate into significant savings on your energy bills over time. With sustainability becoming increasingly important, upgrading to eco-friendly options positions your property as forward-thinking and responsible.

Today, October 22, 2024, Reece Taylor performed a thorough and extensive maintenance check on our AC Unit.

Reece is so polite and thoughtful and honestly explains everything that is needed to keep our unit functioning properly. I trust him implicitly and always take his advice to heart and follow his recommendations. He is a very skilled, talented, hardworking, competent young man.

The two gentlemen who installed the new HVAC unit at my mom's house did a great job. They were very professional and efficient. They were very helpful in getting the system controls set up for her wishes. Not anything on them, but waiting on the paperwork showing the warranty (parts and labor) that was mentioned.
