Our answer is always the same. What year was the house built? And, have you ever had it inspected? If it has been 5-10 years, and you have no record of any inspections, you owe it to yourself and family, to have it looked at.
Along with inspections, to assure your safety, there are also websites available to help rule out problem panels. www.ismypanelsafe.com is a a very helpful recource, to help determine if your panel is one of the worst out there. In the electrical industry, there are three panels that every electrical contractor will agree are the worst: Zinsco panels, Federal Pacific panels, and of course, Fuse panels. All of which, have been recalled due to extreme fire hazards.
Electrical panels are the heart of your electrical system, and a lot of the time, are overlooked as being a simple "grey box". In reality, the panel is the source that ties in all of the components, that make your system safe. If you constantly trip breakers, and your panel is older than 20 years, you need to start thinking about upgrades.
