To reset your breaker you must go to your electrical service panel and identify the breaker that is tripped. You can identify the tripped breaker by locating the one that is not in line with the rest of the breakers. You will need to push it to the completely "off" position and then turn it back to the "on" position. If the breaker continues to trip, contact us for a proper diagnosis.

You may need a new electrical circuit if you seem to be experiencing any electrical issues or changes in electrical needs. The following is a list of some examples that may apply: Electrical shortages, old wiring, a new home addition/remodel, new appliances (ex: dishwasher, refrigerator, heaters, hot tub, pools), etc. We can install new electrical circuits as well as perform home re-wiring to make sure everything is functioning properly.

Many times, the fix can be as simple as moving a frequently used item or small appliance to a different, less used area. If the problem persists, turn the breaker off and consult with an electrician so he can troubleshoot the problem and ensure the safety of your home.

Overloaded breakers build up heat before they trip. Heavily loaded circuits will contribute to this. Sometimes corrosion occurs in the breaker panel and can cause excessive heat buildup.
