A switchboard or panel that is warm to the touch is abnormal and should not be ignored. Electrical panels are designed to operate at or near room temperature. Heat inside a panel means something is generating excess resistance.
Common causes of a warm panel include: breakers running at or near their rated capacity constantly, loose wire terminations creating resistance, a main breaker that is beginning to fail, or a panel that is simply undersized for the current electrical load of the home. Older homes that have added EV chargers, HVAC systems, or major appliances without upgrading the panel are particularly susceptible.
A warm panel that is not addressed can develop into a failing breaker or a wiring fault. Call us to schedule an inspection. We will assess the panel load, check terminations, and advise whether a panel upgrade is needed.
We provide fast, reliable electrical services across the Puget Sound region, including:
If the panel door or cover plate feels noticeably warmer than the surrounding wall more than a degree or two that is abnormal and needs investigation.
Possibly. If the panel is running hot due to consistently high load, a capacity upgrade may be the right solution. We will assess and give you options.
Many homeowner’s insurance policies require electrical panels to be in safe working order. A panel that is running hot may affect your coverage — worth checking with your insurer.
