Frequently Asked Questions

• Why Do My Lights Dim When the Air Conditioner Turns On?

- Why Do My Breakers Trip?

Answer:

Generally, this is due to overloaded circuits, weak breakers or defective breakers.

A circuit breaker is rated to protect a defined ampacity; exceeding the rated ampacity may cause "tripping" of breakers.
Breakers with a continuous heavy load or a load close to the circuit breaker rated value can stress the internal workings of the breaker and weaken the trip mechanism. This is a common cause of nuisance tripping and circuit breaker replacement and/or re-circuiting is recommended.
Circuit breakers can fail and I have yet to find an item that has never had a manufacturer's defect. We check for that!
