Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my breaker keep tripping in my Minot home?
A: A breaker trips to protect your wiring. Most of the time the cause is either too much running on one circuit, or a fault like a short circuit or a ground fault. Here is a quick way to tell which. Unplug everything on that circuit, switch the breaker fully off, then back on. If it holds until you start plugging things back in, the circuit is probably overloaded, and moving some of the load around or adding a circuit usually fixes it. If it trips again with nothing plugged in, stop resetting it. That points to a problem in the wiring or a device on the circuit, and it is time to call us.
​
What should I do if I smell burning near my electrical panel?
A: Take it seriously. If you see smoke or flames, get everyone out of the house and call 9-1-1 from outside. If it is only a smell and it is coming from an outlet or switch, turn off the breaker for that circuit and unplug whatever was connected to it. Then call us. If the smell is coming from the panel itself, leave the cover on and call us right away. A burning or hot-insulation smell can mean overheated wiring or a failing connection, and either one can lead to a fire if it gets ignored.
​
Why are my lights flickering, and is it dangerous?
A: Flickering or dimming lights are often a sign of an overloaded circuit, especially if they dim when a space heater or a major appliance turns on. That can be an easy fix. We can move the lights to a different circuit or run a dedicated line for the appliance causing it. Call sooner if the flickering comes with a warm switch or outlet plate, buzzing, or a burning smell. And if a switch feels hot to the touch, shut it off and have a professional replace it.
​
Do you handle fuse replacement and panel safety checks?
A: Yes. We troubleshoot and repair fuse panels and breaker panels, and we will look over the rest of your panel while we are there. One rule worth knowing: a fuse has to match the circuit it protects. Swapping in a higher-rated fuse to stop it from blowing lets too much current through, which can overheat the wires. If a fuse keeps blowing, something on that circuit is wrong, and we would rather find it than have you keep replacing fuses. An old fuse box is also a good reason to look at an electrical panel upgrade.
