Electric Panel Installation
An electrical panel is the metal box that is the main distribution point for all the circuits in your home or office. It is the gatekeeper of your entire electrical system. The panel is designed to balance the flow of electricity to the circuits. The panel consists of the panel door, circuit breakers, hot bus bars, ground wire and many other components. With so many complicated parts, it is essential to have the electrical panel installed and serviced by a professional. With a properly installed panel, you can rest assured that the wiring and circuits will function safely and properly.
