Circuit breakers trip to prevent overheating and potential fires. Common causes include:

• Overloaded Circuit – Too many devices drawing power from the same circuit.
• Short Circuit – A fault in the wiring causing a direct connection between hot and neutral wires.
• Ground Fault – When a hot wire touches a grounded part of the system.
  If resetting the breaker doesn't resolve the issue, it's advisable to consult a licensed electrician.

While some minor tasks, like replacing a light switch, can be DIY projects, many electrical repairs are hazardous and should be performed by licensed electricians. Always turn off the power at the circuit breaker before attempting any electrical work. For complex issues or if you're unsure, it's safest to hire a professional.

Rewiring may be necessary if you experience:

• Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips or Blown Fuses – Indicates the current wiring can't handle modern electrical loads.
• Flickering Lights – Could signal outdated or faulty wiring.
• Burning Smells or Discolored Outlets – Signs of overheating wiring.
  It's essential to have a professional assessment to determine if rewiring is needed.

Major energy-consuming appliances typically include:

• Water Heater – Approximately 14% of energy usage.
• Washer and Dryer – Around 13%.
• Lighting – About 12%.
• Refrigerator – Approximately 4%.
• Electric Oven – Between 3-4%.
  Understanding these percentages can help in managing energy consumption.
