Do I need a licensed electrician for electrical troubleshooting?
Yes. Troubleshooting can involve live circuits, overloaded wiring, damaged breakers, loose connections, or unsafe panels. Simon Electric provides licensed troubleshooting throughout Palm Beach County.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
A breaker may trip because of an overloaded circuit, a short, a ground fault, failing equipment, moisture, or a panel issue. Repeated tripping should be inspected instead of reset again and again.
Why are my lights flickering?
Flickering lights can come from loose wiring, overloaded circuits, failing switches, utility issues, or panel problems. If flickering is frequent or happens with buzzing, heat, or burning smell, schedule service.
When should I replace or upgrade my electrical panel?
Panel replacement may be needed when breakers trip often, the panel is damaged or corroded, the home needs more capacity, insurance flags the panel, or the equipment is unsafe or obsolete.
