    FAQ

    Why do connections burn inside the panel?

    Loose connections create resistance, which generates heat. This happens over years or with increased load.

    What should I do if I smell burning from my panel?

    Cut the main breaker immediately and evacuate if there is smoke. Do not open the panel yourself.

    Can a burned breaker be repaired or must it be replaced?

    A burned breaker must always be replaced — it cannot be repaired. Same for burned wires or bus bars.

    Do you use thermal imaging on panels?

    Yes, we use a thermal camera to detect hidden heat points inside the panel before they cause fires.

    Do you cover Rehab for emergencies?

    Yes — for burning smell cases we give the highest response priority.
