Overloaded Circuits and Frequent Breaker Trips

One of the most common electrical problems in homes is overloaded circuits, which can cause frequent breaker trips. This occurs when too many devices draw power from a single circuit, exceeding its capacity. ProTech-Electric’s electricians can diagnose and address these issues by redistributing the electrical load or upgrading your electrical panel to handle higher demands.


Frequent breaker trips not only disrupt your daily life but also indicate potential safety hazards, such as overheating wires or faulty connections. Properly managing circuit loads and ensuring that your electrical system is adequately equipped to handle your household’s power needs can prevent these problems and ensure a safe and reliable electrical system.

Flickering Lights and Faulty Outlets

Another prevalent issue is flickering lights, which can signal various underlying problems such as loose or faulty connections, outdated fixtures, or issues with the electrical panel. ProTech-Electric provides comprehensive diagnostics and solutions to resolve these issues and improve the performance of your lighting. Faulty outlets are also a common problem, often caused by worn-out wiring or loose connections. These issues can lead to electrical shocks or fire hazards if not addressed promptly.


ProTech-Electric’s team can repair or replace faulty outlets, ensuring they function safely and reliably. By addressing these common problems, our team helps maintain the efficiency and safety of your home’s electrical system, preventing potential hazards and enhancing your overall electrical experience.
