Circuit Breaker Repair Near North & South Carolina

There are several possibilities as to why your circuit breakers could be tripping. Most commonly, is faulty wiring. Firstly, turn off and unplug all appliances in the area the tripped circuit breaker has affected, then reset your circuit breaker. If the power stays on in that area of your home, you have a problem with the items plugged into the wall sockets rather than the wiring. If the circuit trips again, your wiring is faulty. The only way to truly determine the root of the issue safely is to have a certified electrician from Elite Air & Heat take a look.

A circuit breaker provides protection from electricity overloads by literally breaking the circuit momentarily. Circuit breakers are a great way to provide your electrical system with some insurance, and most modern buildings have them. If you live in an area with frequent storms, circuit breakers are a must as they help prevent lightning from burning out your electrical system or worse, a house fire.

Resetting your circuit breakers is a fairly simple task. There are two types of circuit breakers in your breaker box – the mains, which regulate electricity to the whole house, and individual circuit breakers for specific areas of the home such as the living room, kitchen, bedrooms etc. If your whole house has lost power, simply go to your mains trip and reset your circuit breaker. If only one room or area of your house has lost power, locate the specific circuit breaker for that room that should all be labeled individually on your panel. If either instance keeps persisting, you will have to have a professional from Elite Air & Heat diagnose the issue.
