Circuit breaker tripping in older homes
Why it happens here
Older East End homes often have 100-amp panels and shared circuits. When you run a microwave, a space heater, and a hair dryer at once, the breaker trips. The wiring was not designed for that load, and the breaker is doing its job.
Our approach
We perform a load calculation and identify which circuits are overloaded. We can add dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances or upgrade the panel to 200 amps. We also replace worn breakers that trip too easily.
