Questions Springfield homeowners ask
Is a breaker that keeps tripping dangerous?
It means the circuit is overloaded or something is faulty. Resetting it over and over isn't a fix, so it's worth having it checked.
Why do my lights flicker?
It can be a loose bulb or fixture, but if it happens across several rooms it may point to a wiring or panel issue.
What should I do if I smell burning near an outlet?
Turn off power to that circuit at the panel if you can do it safely, stop using the outlet, and get it checked right away.
