Signs of Circuit Breaker Issues
Circuit breaker trips or power fuses are due to an overload of appliances on one circuit. If you unplug these appliances, you can reset the breaker and sort the problem. One-off fuses may not be an issue.
However, if you notice any of these signs, you may want to call out an electrician as soon as possible:
- Circuit breaker trips happen frequently – especially when systems are not overloaded
- A circuit breaker that will not reset. Other similar issues include the reset switch flips immediately, won’t move or stays put in the middle even when electricity demand has been reduced
- Heat coming from a circuit or a section on the panel that is hot
- An odor, particularly a burning smell, coming from the electrical panel. This will be a sign of overheating
- Physical damage – If you can see scorch marks around your paneling, this is a very high-risk sign. Call a professional electrician immediately
If you experience any of these, you will need a new circuit installed or a repair to your breaker box. You may also need other parts of your electrical system replaced. By doing this, your home will be up to scratch on its electrical systems, and you’ll ensure that you and your family remain safe.
