⚡ WHY DOES MY BREAKER KEEP TRIPPING?

If you're constantly resetting a circuit breaker, don't just keep flipping it back on and hoping the problem goes away. Your breaker is designed to interrupt power when it detects a condition that could create an electrical hazard.

So, what could be causing it?

🔌 Overloaded Circuit
Running too many appliances or high-power devices on the same circuit can draw more electricity than the circuit is designed to handle.

⚡ Short Circuit or Wiring Problem
Damaged wiring, faulty connections, or certain electrical faults can cause a breaker to trip repeatedly and may create a fire risk.

🔧 Faulty Appliance or Equipment
Sometimes the problem isn't your electrical panel at all. A malfunctioning appliance, tool, or other piece of equipment may be causing the breaker to trip.

🏠 Electrical System Capacity
If you're adding major appliances, an EV charger, HVAC equipment, or setting up a workshop, your existing circuits and electrical service may need to be evaluated to determine whether they can handle the additional demand.

🚨 When Should You Be Concerned?
Frequent breaker trips, a burning smell, buzzing or crackling sounds, scorch marks, or a breaker that feels unusually hot should never be ignored. If you notice these warning signs, stop using the affected circuit if you can do so safely. If there is smoke, fire, or an immediate danger, leave the area and call 911.

What should you do?
If a breaker continues to trip, have a qualified electrician identify the cause before resetting it repeatedly or replacing it with a larger breaker. A larger breaker is not a safe fix unless the wiring and entire circuit are properly rated for it.

At Estes Electric, we can help evaluate your electrical concerns, discuss your options, and determine whether repairs or an electrical service upgrade may be appropriate.

A hot tub can be a great addition to your backyard—but before installation, make sure your electrical system is ready for the additional demand.

The same goes for other major electrical additions, including:

• EV chargers
• Large appliances
• HVAC equipment
• Shops and workshops
• Generators

Depending on your existing electrical service and the equipment being added, an upgrade or additional electrical work may be needed.

Not sure if your current setup can handle your plans? Estes Electric can evaluate your electrical needs and help you understand your options.

Contact Estes Electric today and before you know it, you will be warm and toasty in your new hot tub!

100 amp vs 200 amp...Do you know which one your house or project needs?

The difference between the two is how much ELECTRICAL CURRENT is being delivered. Lets compare the two:

100-AMP SERVICE

Electrical capacity: Lower
Often found in: Older or smaller homes
May support: Typical household loads, depending on
appliances and demand
Future additions: May have limited capacity for new equipment

200-AMP SERVICE

Electrical capacity: About twice the capacity
Often found in: Many newer or upgraded homes
May support: More simultaneous electrical loads,
depending on the home's wiring and
equipment
Future additions: More room for additional loads, if the
service calculation supports them

Both can safely power a home when properly designed, installed, and matched to its electrical demand. A 100-amp service isn't automatically unsafe or inadequate, and a 200-amp service isn't automatically necessary for every home.

What might make you as a homeowner consider upgrading?

A home with 100-amp service may need an evaluation if the owner is planning to add:
- An EV charger
- A hot tub or sauna
- A large shop or garage with equipment
- Additional heating or cooling equipment
- A major remodel, addition, or other substantial electrical load

An electrician can perform a load calculation to determine whether the existing service can handle the home's current and planned electrical use. The number of open breaker spaces alone doesn't determine whether the service has enough capacity.

Estes Electric LLC can help you understand your home's electrical capacity and upgrade options. Contact us today for an evaluation of where your home is currently at and see if an upgrade is a good idea.
