What Are Electrical Panels?

Electric panels provide a central distribution point for all the electrical circuits, ensuring that electricity is distributed safely and reliably throughout your house. An electrical panel contains circuit breakers or fuses that protect each circuit from overloading. All wiring should run to or originate from the main service panel. It is important to ensure your electrical panel is up-to-date and functioning properly for the safety of your home. Check our guide to circuit breaker panels here.

How Does an Electrical Panel Work?

An electrical panel houses all of the circuits and fuses for your homes electrical system. It functions by using a circuit breaker or fuse to protect each circuit from overloading. When an electrical load exceeds the capacity of a circuit, the breaker trips, or the fuse blows and interrupts the flow of electricity. This prevents any damage to your home’s wiring system. The main service panel also provides access points for wiring connections and grounding, which helps ensure your safety.

Shannon was so very helpful in answering my questions and Daniel was able to get us in quickly because of deadlines due to home buying. I was amazed!

He was also was ready, willing and able to answer all of my questions. I will definitely be using Allen Service for my future needs.

I'm not one to post many reviews or voice something publicly. But I will recommend this company 10 out of 10 to everyone. The owner is a man with heart and passion that loves even the little man, and their tech's work shows it. Kevin was my tech and was probably the nicest person I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. These guys are your guys for the job.
