How to Safely Cover Your Electrical Panel

Electrical panel

Do you have an electrical panel that is exposed and not covered? If so, you may be wondering how to cover your electrical panel safely. It is actually a lot easier than you may think! Let’s discuss the different methods that you can use to cover your electrical panel safely. We will also provide some tips on how to choose the right method for your needs.

Electrical Panel Covers

 

One of the easiest ways to cover your electrical panel is with a simple piece of plywood. You can cut the plywood to fit nicely around the electrical panel, and then use screws or nails to secure it in place. This method is very inexpensive and easy to do, but it does not provide much in the way of protection from water, wind, and storms.

 

Weatherproof Box

 

Another option is to use a weatherproof box. These boxes are designed to protect your electrical panel from the elements, and they come in a variety of sizes to fit your needs. You can find weatherproof boxes at most hardware stores. Just be sure to get one that is large enough to completely cover your electrical panel.

 

Permanent Solutions

 

If you are looking for a more permanent solution, you can always have your electrical panel professionally enclosed. This is a great option if you live in an area with extreme weather conditions, or if you simply want the peace of mind that comes with knowing your electrical panel is well-protected. Enclosing your electrical panel will also help to keep your energy bills low, as it will be better insulated.

Whatever method you choose to cover your electrical panel, be sure to do your research and choose a method that will work best for your needs. With a little bit of planning, you can easily and safely cover your electrical panel! Contact us today to get help on upgrading, testing, or covering your electrical panel.
