Signs You Should Install New GFCI Outlets
Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) are required in areas in your home near water to help prevent electrocution. Because these can keep your household safe, it’s important to replace the devices before they fail. Some signs that can indicate you need to install new units can include:
- If your outlets start to trip more than usual.
- If your units are cracked or damaged.
- If plugs are starting to slide out of outlets.
Minneapolis Electrician: Electrical Panel Replacement
Old or outdated electrical panels (sometimes referred to as circuit breaker panels or fuse boxes) can be dangerous. These should only be replaced by a professional electrician who is familiar with Minneapolis and St. Paul homes and has plenty of expertise replacing outdated electrical panels.

Common Electrical Panel Issues
When your electrical panel starts to malfunction it’s important to get it repaired as soon as possible to reduce the risk of fire or other damage to your house. Some of the more common issues you might encounter with your unit can include:
Overcrowding
Your home - especially if it’s older - might not have sufficient amps in the electrical panel. This can cause overcrowding that may be due to double-tapped breakers.
Insufficient Capacity
If you experience power surges and flickering lights when you use certain appliances or devices, it can mean that the electrical panel is too small for your home and you need more power.
Corrosion
Any signs of rust, water damage, or other forms of corrosion should be inspected by a professional.
