Are Your Breakers Constantly Tripping? It May Be Time for More Circuits
If your circuit breaker keeps flipping, it’s a sign that your electrical system is overloaded. This can be frustrating, especially when using everyday appliances like microwaves, space heaters, or hair dryers. Adding more circuits can help prevent overloads, improve electrical safety, and keep your home running smoothly.
At Northern Electric LLC, we specialize in installing dedicated circuits so you can use your appliances without worrying about tripping breakers.
Why Do Circuit Breakers Trip?
A circuit breaker is designed to shut off power when too much electricity flows through a circuit. This prevents overheating and reduces the risk of electrical fires. Frequent tripping is often caused by:
- Too many appliances on one circuit – Kitchens, bathrooms, and home offices often overload a single circuit.
- High-power devices – Space heaters, air conditioners, and hair dryers use a lot of energy and can trip breakers if not on dedicated circuits.
- Old wiring or outdated panels – Older electrical systems may not handle today’s power demands.
- Faulty wiring or loose connections – Damaged wires or improper installations can trigger breaker trips.
If you’re resetting your breakers more often than usual, it’s time to consider adding more circuits.
How Adding More Circuits Can Help
By installing additional circuits, you give power-hungry appliances their own dedicated electrical supply, reducing the risk of overloads. Here’s how this upgrade improves your home’s electrical system:
Prevent Breaker Overloads
With more circuits, electricity is evenly distributed, so high-energy appliances won’t overload a single circuit.
Improve Electrical Safety
Overloaded circuits increase the risk of electrical fires. Dedicated circuits prevent overheating and ensure safe operation of your appliances.
Increase Energy Efficiency
When circuits aren’t overloaded, electrical devices run more efficiently, reducing strain on your system and potentially lowering energy bills.
Support Home Upgrades
If you’re adding new appliances, a home office, or an EV charger, additional circuits ensure your electrical system can handle the extra load.
Where Should You Add Dedicated Circuits?
Certain areas of your home benefit from additional circuits to keep power balanced and prevent frequent breaker trips.
Kitchen & Laundry Room
- Microwaves, dishwashers, and refrigerators should have their own circuits.
- Washing machines and dryers require separate circuits to handle their power needs.
Bathroom & Home Office
- Hair dryers and space heaters often overload standard bathroom outlets.
- A home office setup with computers, monitors, and printers can trip breakers if not properly wired.
Garage, Basement & Outdoor Areas
- Electric vehicle (EV) chargers require dedicated circuits for safe and efficient charging.
- Workshop tools like table saws and air compressors need additional power.
- Hot tubs and sump pumps should be on separate circuits for safety.
