We’re On A Mission: To Eliminate Outdated Panels in the Lowcountry

We were shocked to learn that the American Red Cross responds to 6 home fires every day in South Carolina. According to the National Fire Protection Association, electrical failures or malfunctions were the second leading cause of electrical fires in homes. Wiring and related equipment was involved in over two thirds of home fires.

As your partner in home safety, we are making it our mission to remove outdated panels from homes in the Lowcountry. These outdated panels have been known to have a higher risk of failure since they may not limit your wiring from becoming overloaded. These panels include:

  • Federal Pacific
  • Zinsco
  • Challenger
  • Split Bus
  • Fuse Boxes
  • ITE

Not sure if you have this type of panel? Here are some signs you have an unsafe panel:

  • Your home was built before 1990. Many panels prior to 1990 have been recalled for safety concerns.
  • Breakers trip repeatedly.
  • Burning smell from your breaker box.
  • Melted or scorched wires.

To ensure we accomplish our mission, our electrical team is giving away a panel replacement every month. If you know for sure you have an outdated panel, enter to win a new one. Or if you aren’t sure, have one of our electricians come out and we’ll let you know if you do.

ENTER TO WIN A NEW PANEL

The rules: No purchase is necessary to win.  The winner does not need to be an existing customer of Preferred Home Services. The panel must be installed at the primary home of the winning homeowner. The new panel must be replacing an outdated panel that is unsafe. It cannot be installed at another property or given to someone else. The home must be located in our Lowcountry Service area. Employees of Preferred Home Services are not able to be the recipient of the prize. No cash prize will be given in place of the electrical panel replacement. The prize is an electrical panel installed by an electrician of Preferred Home Services including all labor and materials. Wiring or new devices (i.e. outlets and switches)  are not included.  The winner will need to give permission for their photo or video and images of the install at their home being used in marketing materials including social media for Preferred Home Services. The winner will be selected from entries submitted in a calendar month, meaning from the first day of the month until the last day of the month. Winners will be contacted by the 10th of the following month.

    ~ Melanie S.

    The Technician showed up on time. Went directly to work servicing the system. He kept us well informed about his progress and notified us of any issues that he discovered, along with any options. He made the process as easy and pleasant as possible.

    ~ Bill T.

    After finding out my toilet was leaking and the panicky scramble of “what do I do’s”, I called Preferred Home Services. They were able to come out and fix the issue all within a few hours. The technician was friendly, explained what had happened, and was quick to fix the toilet! I will be calling Preferred Home Services from now on for my household plumbing needs!

    ~ Kristine P.

    We had a fantastic experience with Preferred Home Services! Mike and Nick took care of some plumbing needs we had and were so knowledgeable and professional. The customer service throughout our whole experience has been second to none! I couldn’t be more pleased.

    ~ Jeanne R.

    Very happy with Preferred Home Services. They were very professional and courteous during the installations. They were very efficient and took time to explain everything to me before and after, and very prompt with follow-up questions.

    ~ Katie V.

    At 6 PM on a 95-degree day, I noticed that my system was not cooling and was in fact down. I called and was pleased to have someone pick up the phone and listen to the symptoms of the problem. They ultimately dispatched a repair person who was able to get the system up and running by 8:30 PM in advance of a long, hot holiday weekend, I was very pleased with the prompt response to my emergency.

    ~ Bruce H.

    They installed a new unit and replaced all the duct work under my house. They did a great job and were very professional and had the job done in just two days! I will highly recommend this company to anyone needing work.

    ~ Matt B.

    This business is incredible. Called for service due to our HVAC not working at all. It was late afternoon and a Technician was at our door within the hour...

    ~ Benson F.

    Love preferred home services. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and have great customer service. I've used them at both properties for HVAC issues. I love that the text a picture of who is coming, along with a bio. Definitely recommend!

    ~ C. R.

    I can't say enough about this company! I've used them twice now, once for a plumbing issue and today for my AC. They were prompt, professional, knew what they were doing and made me feel comfortable and confident in their work.

    ~ A. S.
