That was scary

Last night I wasn't sleeping well and the wife went in the hallway and turned on the light which didn't help but when I found out why I didn't sleep the rest of the night.
She heard the breaker box arcing and sure enough I saw fizzing behind one of the breakers. We turned off the breaker to the heater, the panel is old and I've had trouble with sizziling before and the guy just replaced the breaker.
Called electrician explained emergent need and he showed up and replaced the whole panel for us for 750.
Considering the cost of the breakers and panel box along with GFI and Arc flash breakers and about three and a half hours labor I'm really happy.
Now maybe I can sleep soundly tonight, God leads us to some good people.
Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

That is a close call for sure.
👍️ Glad you got your major electrical problem fixed mogley! Around here, getting an electrician is very hard to do unless you are doing new construction. I live in an Amish area and there are not too many Amish electricians! 😂 Now that would be an oxymoron for sure!
Mogley, that was a good price on the panel.
The old panel, was it a Murray brand?
lucky the house catch fire. For a change out that is a very fair price.
Wow. You got a real bargain there. Glad your home is safe too.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Wow, that is a close call, glad you caught it in time.
I think it was an ITE?
glad you are safe and didn't get taken by the electrician.
Glad you caught it and got it fixed. That price is un heard of, be 10 times that here.
