How often should electrical panels be inspected for safety?
Plan on routine panel inspections; many Dawson’s Electric customers choose an annual safety check. We recommend scheduling sooner if you add new loads (like a Level 2 EV charger), notice warm or buzzing panels, experience frequent breaker trips, or after a lightning strike/power surge. Regular commercial panel inspections help prevent failures and downtime. Routine inspections can also identify needs like surge protection or clearer breaker labeling before they become hazards in Raleigh and nearby cities.
- Quick triggers to check now: burning smells, discoloration, hot cover, or repeated trips.
