Most people don’t think about the electrical panel in their home or business until they experience a problem. The electrical panel is the metal box that houses your circuit breakers, which supply electricity from the main power line on the street to the appliances on your property. If a circuit becomes overloaded or there is a power surge, some or all of your power might go out. You should never try to diagnose a problem with your electrical panel or perform electrical panel repairs on your own. At Mr. Electric of Knoxville, we offer professional electrical panel repairs and electrical panel upgrades in Knoxville, TN and throughout Knox County. Call us today to schedule an electrical panel check-up.
