Electrical Panel Clearwater

A breaker box or electric panel, is the main control unit responsible for distributing electricity to outlets and lights throughout your home or building. It usually contains fuses or circuit breakers to manage the flow of electricity, and it also houses the main switch to shut off power to your entire house in case of emergency.

The most common reason for Tampa homeowners to call our electrical company is to replace their breaker panels. Breaker panels in homes built before the 1980s are often outdated and cannot handle the power requirements of modern appliances, and some old breaker boxes have been found to be unsafe, especially those manufactured by Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) or Zinsco-Sylvania.

Another way to save money on your power bill is by installing a solar energy system. In most cases, a grid-tied solar system will produce more power than you need, which will be sent back to the utility company through a process known as net metering. This causes your meter to spin backwards, and at the end of the year you will receive a credit from your utility company for the excess power you sent back. Solar installation can help you save or even eliminate your power bill while adding tax-exempt value to your property. Electrical Panel Clearwater
