Redmond Washington Electrical Troubleshooting

Another service call for Seatown Electric, this customer had one of there upstairs circuits that was not working. We started at the electrical panel and checked every circuit to make sure the breakers were in the on position. The customer said they checked every single breaker, But just to be safe we like to run our fingers down the Breakers and put slight tension on them to see if one is tripped in the on position. There is a lot of service calls that electrical contractor go on in the Seattle area that are similar  to this, and most of the time it is an easy fix. We look for the obvious, a bad breaker, tripped GFCI  or loose wiring first.



In this case it was a tripped breaker, stuck in the on position. A good tip for home owners to look at to save a trip fee is to turn every breaker off hard then back on. This will reset the breaker if it is in fact tripped, but in the on position. The video above can help everyday homeowners troubleshoot a simple fix.

After setting the breaker back on, power was restored. Job complete. Another satisfied Angies List customer
