How often should electrical panels be inspected for safety?

Electrical panels should be inspected for safety at least once a year, with additional checks any time the electrical load or home conditions change. The most common driver is everyday wear at breakers and terminations, which can loosen connections and create heat long before you notice issues elsewhere. Our electricians follow NEC-guided checks of panel operation, labeling, grounding, and surge protection, and we routinely perform these inspections across the Point Venture area.

Schedule an extra inspection if you notice or plan any of the following:

• Breakers are always tripping.
• A breaker switch is loose or will not stay reset.
• Breakers feel hot or the panel smells like something is burning.
• Buying a home, major appliance changes, renovations, or a home that’s 40+ years old.

SALT+ membership includes an Annual Electrical Safety Inspection as part of routine maintenance. If you suspect overheating or smell burning, shut off power at the main and avoid touching the panel.
