If your home was built before the 1990s and still has its original panel, it may no longer be able to handle the demands of modern power usage. Common red flags include tripping breakers, dimming lights, a burning smell near the panel, or a warm-to-the-touch breaker box.
Even if your system seems to function “most of the time,” these warning signs could point to outdated or unsafe infrastructure. Goose Electric performs panel inspections that go beyond a quick look—we evaluate capacity, wiring condition, breaker behavior, and long-term safety.

We provide upfront, transparent estimates after a thorough on-site evaluation. You’ll know exactly what the job entails before any work begins—no surprise fees or inflated costs. We tailor every recommendation to your home’s actual needs, so you’re paying for real solutions, not unnecessary upgrades.
