When Will Your Insurer Require an Electrical Upgrade
Your insurance provider will want a copy of the electrical inspection that was performed when you purchased the property as well as a copy of any inspections performed after an electrical service upgrade. You may need a new electrical panel, or additional wiring updates if you are currently having any of the following problems:
- The electrical panel is hot
- There is a burning, melting, or chemical-type smell coming from the unit
- Your breakers are tripping frequently
- Switches are capable of processing more power than the supporting wiring
- The panel is oversubscribed
- You have aluminum wiring
- Main service panel needs to be replaced to provide more power for the utility
- You have dangerous, old knot and tube wiring
- A fuse box cannot support the required load
- New appliances are being installed which require more power than your service panel can carry
What About Electrical Panel Wiring?
The dangers of putting in a new electrical service box without adjusting electrical panel wiring can be fatal. Statistics show that the chances of electrical fires are significantly higher when a panel upgrade is performed with no attention to the gauge, insulation strength, and length capacity of the circuits. Wiring that is rated to carry a lower amperage can overheat before circuits break, and before you know it, you’re dealing with a fire or the risk of electrocution and shocks. If your property has failed a recent inspection, the prospect of rewiring may seem daunting. Allow us to take the hassle out of making sure your investment complies will all your insurer's requirements.
