Moving electrical panel

[Ray Harrell]

Maybe this is the wrong place for this question, but someone here has to know. I have a 3 unit building where the electrical panels for all 3 units and common is in the basement. If a breaker trips, tenants have to go outside to the basement to reset the breaker.

Is it possible to have electrical panels moved into each of the units?

That is major surgery, very expensive and will not warrant an increase in rent. A breaker should only trip when the tenant overloads the circuit. I think having a long walk to reset the breaker is a good thing from the landlord's and safety perspective. Sometimes breakers go bad, might be worth to have an electrician look into that.
