It may be annoying when this occurs, but your circuit breaker is a safety measure. It cuts off electrical current when there’s an overload, protecting your home and family from an electrical fire. A repeated circuit overload means that too much electrical power is being drawn through a single circuit. One circuit may be controlling too many outlets and too many things are plugged in. A malfunctioning appliance or an electrical short may also be to blame.
Today’s home electrical needs are much higher than they were even 10 years ago, and the existing wiring configuration in your Atlanta home may not support your household needs. An experienced electrician can diagnose the issue, then upgrade your home’s wiring and/or install a new electrical panel, as needed.
