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.

I've been a customer of Mike’s plumbing for 7 months and have consistently experienced outstanding service. What sets them apart is their reliability, professionalism, & honesty. They have always addressed my concerns promptly … More and have exceeded my expectations. Their team are knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking reliability and quality service. Some of the men that have stood out to me were Pedro, Ram, Andres, & Jorge. There are some more that I cannot recall their names at this moment but every person sent to my house has been amazing at the job they do.
