That condensation issue is severe and will damage your new panel. Fix it while the old panel is out of the way if at all possible.
Do you have any ideas about what's going on with that? Cold air infiltration? If so, can you find the leak and patch it? The spray foam insulation can do that, or even stuff fiberglass bats into whatever gaps are letting the air in.
I wouldn't want to put a new panel in service until after I fixed that moisture issue. If you don't you'll be doing this all over again if you're lucky or having a fire if you're not. |
