  • Why does my circuit breaker keep tripping?

    Circuit breakers are designed to trip when they detect potential electrical hazards. This can occur due to various reasons, including overloaded circuits, faulty wiring, short circuits, or malfunctioning appliances. To address this issue, try reducing the electrical load on the affected circuit, inspect your appliances for faults, or consult a professional electrician to examine your wiring system.

  • What should I do if my circuit breaker trips?

    When a circuit breaker trips, first disconnect any devices or appliances on the affected circuit. Next, completely turn off the breaker and then switch it back on to reset it. If the breaker trips again immediately, refrain from using that circuit and investigate potential issues such as faulty appliances or overloaded circuits. For persistent problems, we recommend contacting LIP Electric for a thorough inspection and diagnosis.

  • What should I do if I experience a power outage?

    In the event of a power outage, begin by examining your breaker panel to determine if a breaker has tripped. Turn every breaker off, then one by one, turn them back on. If you find a tripped breaker, attempt to reset it. Should the issue continue, please reach out to our team at LIP Electric for a comprehensive evaluation of your electrical system.

  • How do I know if I need an electrical upgrade?

    Several indicators suggest the need for an electrical upgrade. These include flickering lights, outlets or switches that are warm to the touch, and frequent fuse blows or circuit breaker trips. If you notice any of these signs, it's advisable to have a professional evaluate your electrical system.

  • What are the signs that my electrical system needs repairs?

    Indications that your electrical system may require repairs include inconsistent lighting, frequent circuit breaker trips, outlets that produce sparks, and the presence of a burning odor from electrical components. Additionally, if the main electrical service coming in is frayed or cracked, this can lead to water getting into the electrical meter or panel, which will cause issues.
