Your Electrical Service Breaker Panel is the heart of your electrical system it distributes power from your service provider to every electrical device in your home or business. If this fails or is out of date major problems can occur, loss of power, damage to electrical appliances, and at worst an electrical fire.
These days, with all the new appliances and technical devices we have in our Raleigh homes, we find that older homes might not have sufficient power available to handle the increased demand, without an electrical panel upgrade. An ARC Electric electrician (your Raleigh and Cary electrical contractor) can inspect your home’s current wiring system and recommend any electrical panel changes that are necessary. Don’t wait for problems to occur. If your home is over 15 years old call the best electricians in Raleigh to give you a FREE estimate today.

This is really incredible to see. The technology that was being used at that time is truly amazing, and the fact that it was used until 1990 is great.
While it may not be that massive, if you have an electrical service that is aging and would like to have one of our electricians come inspect and give an estimate to bring it up to date, give us a call!
From the Biltmore House Facebook post:
“While Biltmore House remains closed at this time, we hope you enjoy this peek at the sub-basement, where the original heating and power equipment still stand!
Biltmore was designed with “state-of-the-art” technology of the time. That is evident in Biltmore’s Sub-Basement where the original heating and power equipment still stand. This switchboard measures seven by sixteen feet and is made of four slabs of solid marble chosen for its insulating properties.
This switchboard was used until April of 1990 at which time it was determined to be inadequate to accommodate the needs of the House.”

“It doesn’t take much to be electrocuted, fatally electrocuted just by an outlet in a wall socket,” Plymouth, Massachusetts, Fire Chief Ed Bradley said.
There is a new awfully-stupid challenge going around on kids’ social media, called the “outlet challenge” – involving partially plugging a phone charger into an outlet and then touching a penny to the exposed prongs. Obviously unsafe, fire officials are warning that the action could cause fire or serious injury.

This panel got water in it and rusted through, also caused lots of corrosion and oxidization around the connections. All new again and ready for the new Homebuyers. What’s the inside of your panel look like? Tip top shape? Or in need of repair? Most people don’t know.
