Answers to Common Questions
View All FAQsHow often should electrical panels be inspected for safety?
Electrical panels should be inspected once a year as part of electrical safety maintenance. Most problems begin small—like loose connections or aging breakers from normal heat cycles and changing loads—and are easiest to correct when found early. During a visit, a licensed technician checks breakers and trip settings, takes voltage and amperage readings, and verifies grounding, bonding, and connection points to spot hazards before they escalate. We routinely complete these panel checks during maintenance visits across Northern Virginia. Priority Service Plans can bundle this with other home systems and store your records in a cloud app for easy access.
Schedule an extra inspection sooner if you notice:
- Breakers tripping repeatedly
- Lights flickering or dimming on multiple circuits
- Warmth, buzzing, or a burning odor at the panel
- A recent renovation or added high-load equipment (EV charger, hot tub)
If the panel feels warm or smells burnt, do not remove the cover and contact a licensed electrician.
