Panel Service FAQs
Why does my breaker keep tripping even after I reset it?
A circuit breaker trips to prevent wiring from overheating. Persistent tripping means the circuit is overloaded (too many devices drawing power) or there is a short circuit in the wiring or a faulty appliance.
What is the benefit of upgrading my panel to 200 amps?
Upgrading from 100A to 200A provides more capacity for modern energy demands, which is essential for installing EV chargers, central air conditioning, or major kitchen appliances.
