Local electrician Fusion Electric answers the concern about breakers popping (or switching off) regularly. When a circuit switches off, it closes the line and disconnects power from the load. Because circuit breakers are not meant for frequent operation, your breakers popping on a regular basis can be a cause for concern. They may indicate that your electrical panel needs an upgrade.
Regular popping of the breakers puts unnecessary stress on the electrical system and increases the panel’s wear and tear. It is best to handle the breakers only when they are needed for safety or maintenance reasons or when there is an occasional tripped breaker. If you are experiencing frequent popped or tripped breakers, it’s best to consult a local, qualified electrician to investigate the issue.
Circuit breakers are tools; like any other, they will wear out over time. For the most part, breakers operate with very little maintenance needed, but if they pop on a regular basis, it’s time for an electrician to intervene.
How Will Fusion Electric Address My Breaker Problem?
First, we will evaluate capacity and amperage. This step involves understanding your home’s current electrical service size and the number of circuits needed. Most homes use 100, 200, or 400 amp services. It’s essential to assess your existing electrical system to determine what size panel will effectively meet your needs.
Next, we will plan for future expansion and discuss your likelihood of a home renovation or addition. Considering future expansion is vital when replacing your electrical panel. A panel that can handle additional load from future projects ensures you won’t face capacity issues down the line.
