Your electrical panel distributes power to every circuit in the house. When it is damaged, outdated or out of space, the whole home is affected. Home Run repairs and replaces residential electrical panels for homeowners in Covington, Conyers, McDonough and nearby Georgia communities.
Signs Your Panel Needs Attention
- Breakers that trip often, feel hot or will not reset
- A panel cover that is warm to the touch or makes a buzzing sound
- Rust, corrosion, water stains or scorch marks inside or around the panel
- A fuse box, or a panel with no open spaces left for new circuits
- Double-tapped breakers, where two wires share a breaker that is not rated for it
- An older panel brand that a home inspector has flagged. Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels are commonly called out
Repair or Replace?
Not every panel problem means a new panel. A single worn breaker, a loose lug or a corroded connection can often be repaired. Replacement makes more sense when the panel is damaged, has a history of problems, cannot accept the breakers your home needs, or is too small for the way you use electricity today.
If you are planning an EV charger, a heat pump, a hot tub or an addition, it may be the right time to combine a panel replacement with an electrical service upgrade.
What to Expect on Replacement Day
A panel swap means the power is off while the work is done, so we plan the timing with you in advance. Panel replacements typically require a permit, an inspection and coordination with your utility, and we will explain what applies to your home. Every circuit is labeled when we finish, and we test the system before we leave.
Electrical Panel FAQs
How long does a panel replacement take?
Many residential panel replacements are completed in a single day, though the timeline depends on the home, the condition of the existing wiring and utility scheduling.
Can I add circuits to a full panel?
Sometimes. Depending on the panel, options include breakers that are listed for that panel, a subpanel, or a replacement panel with more spaces. We will look at your panel and explain which option is safe.
