Have you lost power to one part of your home? It may be the circuit breakers and fuses that may be the problem. There are 3 main reasons circuit breakers and fuses cut power from where they are connected.
1. There is a short circuit somewhere on the circuit. If you plug in an appliance and the circuit breaker or fuse trips, you may need to unplug the appliance and reset the breaker. If the breaker or fuse stays on, then there is more than likely a problem with the appliance. If the breaker or fuse trips again or does not work, then there may be a problem with your home’s wiring and you may want to contact an electrician. The problem could be located on the main electrical panel, an outlet box, switch box, or anywhere in between.
2. The circuit is overloaded. Too many appliances or lights on the same circuit can lead to problems with your electrical system. Keep track of what appliances are turned on when your problematic circuit breaker trips so that you can best explain the problem when our technicians come to you.
3. The circuit breaker is broken. Regardless of the size or type, circuit breakers need to be replaced because over time they do wear out. This can happen to any circuit breaker no matter what size or type.

Our company has been using Mike’s Plumbing and Electrical for all our plumbing and lighting repairs. What I like most about their company is their friendly and knowledgeable staff. When you first call for availability you are handled with … More urgency and care. In most cases, I’ve been able to get a tech out the same day to get my repairs done. Today was no different when Jorge came out to our facility to get a few light fixtures repaired. This was the second time I’ve seen Jorge and today was no different from his last visit. He is very professional and knowledgeable in his field. He was able to answer any questions I had and get our repair completed in a couple of hours. With service like this, our company will continue to use Mike’s Plumbing and Electrical for our needs. Thank you for your great customer service!
