Circuit breaker tripping in older multi-family homes
Why it happens here
Triple-deckers on Bowen Street and Pleasant Street were wired when each unit had a few lights and a refrigerator. Today each unit runs air conditioners, microwaves, and space heaters on the same undersized circuits, so breakers trip constantly.
Our approach
We map the circuits, identify what is shared, and separate the loads where possible. If the panel cannot support the demand, we quote a 200 amp upgrade and explain exactly what it fixes.
