Circuit Breaker Repair Near Roanoke, VA

There are several reasons as to why your circuit breakers may keep tripping. Most common is faulty wiring. Turn off and unplug all the appliances in the area the tripped circuit breaker has affected, then turn on and reset your circuit breaker. If the power stays on in that area of your home, you have a problem with the items plugged into the wall sockets rather than the wiring. If the circuit trips again, it is highly likely that your wiring is faulty. The only way to determine the issue is to have a professional electrician at Southern Trust Home Services take a look at what is going on.

A circuit breaker provides protection from overloads of electricity by literally breaking the circuit momentarily. Circuit breakers are a great way to provide your electrical system some insurance and most modern buildings and houses have them. If you live in an area that storms a lot, circuit breakers are a must as they can prevent lightning from burning out your electrical system and even worse, a house fire.

Resetting your circuit breakers is a fairly simple task. There are two types of circuit breakers in your breaker box—the mains, which regulate electricity to the whole house, and the individual circuit breakers for specific areas of the home such as the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms etc. If your whole house has lost power, simply go to your mains trip and reset your circuit breaker. If only one room or area of your house has lost power, locate the specific circuit breaker for that room that should all be labeled individually on your panel. If either issue persists, you will have to have a professional from Southern Trust Home Services diagnose the issue.
