Circuit breaker tripping on older 100-amp panels
Why it happens here
Most North End homes were built when a 60-amp service was plenty. Today, a single family runs a dryer, an oven, a microwave, and a heat pump on the same panel. The main breaker trips because the load exceeds the service rating.
Our approach
We run a load calculation, identify the biggest draws, and recommend a 200-amp upgrade when the numbers demand it. If a smaller fix works, we replace the failing breaker and balance the circuits instead of pushing an unnecessary panel.
