If you are a part of the minority of households with a fuse box system, then we recommend you get a fuse box upgrade to move into a circuit breaker system. Fuse boxes result in blown fuses every time you have a short circuit or overloaded circuit. Further, home insurance providers are reluctant to insure home with fuses and may either deny coverage or ask you to pay a higher rate. Why not upgrade to an electrical panel, instead? By getting a circuit breaker installation, you will save money on home insurance costs and by not having to constantly replace those fuses. Our licensed experts are local professionals with your best interest in mind. Call us now to schedule your flexible appointment today.
What Should I Do When My Circuit Breakers Trip?
A circuit breaker will trip if the circuit becomes overloaded. For example, if you are using your blow dryer, watching TV, have the computer on, and charging your phone, then you might overwork your circuit. This will result in too much electrical demand and your breaker will trip. This is what you should do:
- Turn off the power to your electrical appliances and devices.
- Go to your electrical panel box, usually in the basement or at the entrance near your front door.
- Find the tripped breaker, the one with the lever between “on” and “off” positions.
- Push the lever “off” then back to the “on” position.
When Do I Need an Electrical Panel Replacement?
First and foremost, you should remember that electrical panels eventually need to be updated just as any other piece of equipment. As we move into a more electronic-based environment, your electrical panel will become more and more burdened. An electrical panel replacement may be necessary to keep up with the load. So, if you have new installations in your home such as security systems, jacuzzi, and home entertainment systems, it might be time for a Colleyville electrical panel replacement.
