Myth: if the breaker resets, the problem's solved.
A breaker trips to protect the circuit. One trip now and then isn't cause for alarm. But some signs are worth a call:
• a breaker or panel that feels warm
• breakers that trip often
• lights that flicker in several rooms
• a burning smell near the panel
• a fuse box or older panel, especially before you add a big load like an EV charger, a standby generator or a heat pump
A burning smell or a hot panel? Call us right away. We're available 24/7 for emergencies, and office hours are Mon–Fri 8–5.
Planning an upgrade? Our FREE System Evaluation is a planning visit, not a repair call: load calculation, sizing and a panel capacity check, so you know what your panel can handle before you add more.
