Recently, there has been a public service announcement regarding Square D electrical panels and a recall affecting homes built between 2020 and 2023. At LunsPro Home Inspections, we believe it's crucial for homeowners to be informed about potential safety issues related to their electrical systems.
Identifying Square D Panels
If your home falls within the specified construction period, it's important to check your electrical panel, specifically looking at two key indicators:
- Panel Size: Determine if your panel is a Square D model.
- Date Code: Locate the date code on the panel, usually found on a label inside. This code helps identify if your panel is subject to the recall.
Understanding the Recall Process
Schneider Electric, the manufacturer of Square D panels, has issued a recall for certain units due to safety concerns. If your panel's date code falls within the affected range, it's recommended to contact Schneider Electric promptly. They will conduct a free assessment of your panel to determine if it needs replacement or if it is safe to continue using.
Importance of Taking Action
Electrical panel recalls are serious as they involve potential risks such as electrical fires or other safety hazards. By proactively checking and addressing any issues with your Square D panel, you can ensure the safety of your home and family.
