Saturday afternoon emergency call in Lansbrook.
The homeowner lost power to the entire house while family was over, the pool was being used, and food was being prepared. After troubleshooting the issue, we found that the 200-amp main breaker had failed.
We were able to locate the replacement breaker the same day, pick it up, return to the home, replace the main breaker, test everything, and get power restored.
We also replaced the original damaged surge protector with a new whole house surge protective device for code compliance and safety.
A lot of homes in Lansbrook and East Lake are now around 30 years old, and many still have original electrical panels, original main breakers, or older surge protection equipment. That equipment does not last forever. When a main breaker fails, it can shut down the entire house — and it usually seems to happen at the worst possible time because that is often when the home is using the most power.
This is a good reminder that aging panels, main breakers, and surge protection are worth paying attention to before they turn into an emergency.
Same-day help is not always guaranteed, but when we can make it happen, we do everything we can to get the problem diagnosed and corrected safely.
