What is An Electrical Panel?
Your main electrical panel is typically a large grey box that is located in your garage or basement and is filled with a number of switches, or "breakers". When the breakers trip, they cut off power to a section of your electrical system until they're switched back on. If your breakers trip repeatedly or frequently, it might mean that the panel is not equipped to deal with the amount of electricity that you're using in all or part of your home, which can be very unsafe.
If you ever notice that your breakers are tripping frequently, contact our Ossining electricians can inspect your panel and electrical system to determine whether it's safe for use.
