Electrical panel inspection safety, Electrical panels are inherently dangerous and inspected with caution. Always observe your surroundings, do you have enough room in front of the panel to work, do you notice any standing water on the floor or any evidence of moisture intrusion into the electrical panel. Look for any hazards before opening the panel. We recommend a voltage sensor to run across the panel to make sure it isn't energized before opening the panel. If you feel unsafe in the panels state or brand of the panel, note that panel was not fully inspected and why. Then recommend a qualified contractor to evaluate the panel.
