How Do Circuit Breakers Work?
Circuit breakers are located inside the main electrical panel. Also called the fuse box, this device is usually tucked away in a utility room or garage. Though it is often overlooked, maintaining the fuse box and the circuit breakers is extremely important.
Circuit breakers are switches that regulate the flow of electricity through your Nassau County home. Circuit breakers send power to the outlets, lights, and all equipment powered by electricity.
The circuit breaker also controls how much electricity flows through the home. This management is to prevent damage to your appliances and devices. These boxes also protect you and your family by preventing electrical surges, short circuits, and overloads that can lead to fires and other dangerous situations.
When the excessive flow of electricity, or a power surge, is detected on the line, the circuit breaker “trips,” shutting off power to the line. When these breakers are tripped frequently, it is a sign that you need circuit breaker repair to prevent more dangerous situations from occurring.
Common Circuit Breaker Issues
Older homes may have issues with their circuit breakers, especially if the fuse box and electrical system is more than 25 years old.
In addition to breakers tripping frequently, you may see other problems develop, including:
- Interruption in your electrical service
- Overheating of the fuse box
- Signs of corrosion or rust on the box or the breakers
- Arcing or sparks
- Humming noises
