Electrical panel overheating — Larnaca, Larnaca
An overheating electrical panel is a serious fire hazard that demands immediate professional attention. Warm or hot panel covers, discolored wiring, or a burning smell near the breaker box indicate loose connections, overloaded circuits, or a failing breaker. A licensed electrician should inspect, diagnose, and repair the panel before a fire or equipment damage occurs.

Larnaca's airport-investor apartment stock is mostly modern wiring, but older flats being renovated by the post-2022 buyer cohort often need full rewiring to current standard. Electricians must hold a category-appropriate licence from the Ministry of Energy.
