I recently had Incan Electric install outdoor lighting at my home in Oak Creek. They did a great job and left the work area clean when they were finished. I deducted a star because it took them a bit longer than initially estimated to complete the job.

I called Incan Electric to fix a faulty outlet in my home in West Allis. They came out quickly, but the repair was a bit pricier than I expected. Overall, they got the job done, but I wish the cost had been more reasonable.

Incan Electric did a good job installing a backup generator at our home in Franklin. They were punctual and professional, but there was a slight miscommunication about the final cost. Once we cleared that up, we were happy with their work.

## Electrical Panel: Learn The Basics
Electrical Panels are a crucial element of any property. As a homeowner or business owner, you are responsible for ensuring your and your residents' safety. Therefore, basic knowledge about electrical panels is essential - which is why we're here to assist you. To start with, first, let us define what electric panels are.

## What is an Electric Panel?
Also called as breakers or distribution board, is a component of an electrical system that distributes electricity throughout a building or facility. It usually sits centrally and contains numerous circuit breakers or fuses which protect circuits from overloading or short-circuiting.

It is connected to the building's primary power source, usually provided by a local utility or power company. Here it receives electrical current and distributes it throughout various circuits such as lighting, outlets, and appliances.

They are designed to trip or blow if an overload or short-circuit in a circuit happens. It help prevents electrical fires and damage to electrical equipment. Electric panels also typically include other components like voltage regulators, surge protectors, and ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs), which provide additional safeguarding against potential electrical hazards.

## Importance of Having an Electrical Panel
Below is a list of the importance of having an electrical panel

### Electrical Safety
Circuit breakers or fuses in an electrical panel safeguard the circuits in your home or facility from overloading or short-circuiting, which could result in electrical fires and damage to equipment. It helps ensure both occupant and property safety.

### Power Distribution
It receives and distributes incoming electrical power to various circuits throughout a building, such as lighting, outlets, and appliances. It helps guarantee that there is always enough electric energy when needed and that the system runs efficiently and optimally.

### Control
It provides a means of managing the entire electrical system, such as shutting down power to a specific circuit or shutting down the whole system in an emergency. It gives you more control over your electrical system and helps protect electrical equipment and appliances from damage.

### Upgrades
When upgrading electrical components, the electrical panel is often the starting point. Upgrading can enable you to add new circuits or increase the capacity of existing ones - ideal if you plan to add appliances requiring more electricity.

## Types of Electrical Panel
There are four different types of electrical panels.

- Main Breaker Panel: It regulates the circuit breakers and the electricity consumption within the property.
- Fuse Boxes: Made up of fuses designed to help prevent overloading within your circuits.
- Main Lug Panels: Made up of wires that run into lugs, eliminating the main breaker's need.
- Subpanels: Panels that get energy from the main panel through a circuit.

## Sizes of Electrical Panel
There are four common sizes of electrical panels.
1.  100 amps
2.  125 amps
3.  150 amps
4.  200 amps
