Common Questions About Electrical Repairs at Home
Circuit breakers trip to protect your home from electrical overloads or short circuits. If it happens occasionally, it could be due to a temporary power surge or too many devices running on the same circuit.
Frequent tripping, however, may point to an outdated panel, faulty wiring, or a more serious issue. Rhema Electric can inspect your panel and diagnose the root cause so your system operates safely and reliably.
This usually happens when a large appliance, like an air conditioner or microwave, draws a lot of power. If the flickering is consistent or widespread, it could mean your home’s circuits are overloaded or that the wiring isn’t properly balanced.
In older homes, flickering lights may also be a sign of loose connections or aging wiring. Our licensed electricians can evaluate your system and recommend repairs or upgrades to keep your lighting steady and safe.
To reset a breaker, locate your electrical panel and find the switch that’s flipped to the middle or “off” position. Push it fully to “off,” then back to “on.”
For GFCI outlets (typically found in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages), press the “reset” button in the center of the outlet. Call Rhema if the breaker or outlet won’t reset or keeps tripping. We’ll identify what’s causing the fault and fix it safely.
Common residential electrical repairs in Western Washington include replacing worn outlets and switches, fixing tripped or faulty breakers, and addressing wiring issues caused by moisture or aging infrastructure. Homeowners also commonly call for lighting repairs, GFCI outlet replacements, and panel upgrades to support modern electrical loads.
