To fix an electrical short in your Halethorpe, MD home, start by identifying what caused the short. If you have a multimeter, you can try to check the outlets themselves to see which has zero volts by following these steps:
Turn off the breaker to stop the power to the outlets in the room where the short occurred.
Insert the metal probes into each outlet to find the one with zero volts.
Once you find the correct one, remove the cover to check the wires.
If you use the multimeter and find there are no issues with the wires, that could indicate that there is an issue with your breaker.
Deeper issues with your breaker can be dangerous to diagnose and fix due to the amount of power within your breaker. If you have an electrical short you need help with, call us today.
