What is an Electrical Circuit Overload and How Can I Prevent it?

Electrical circuit overloads happen when more amperage [link to glossary] is transferred across an electrical wire than the circuit can handle.  Circuit overloads can be caused by loose, corroded, or faulty wires and connections.  However, most circuit overloads occur when you draw more power than the outlet’s maximum capacity.  For example, if you plug a laser printer into the same outlet as your computer tower, and you don’t have enough amperage to support the devices, a circuit breaker will be tripped or a breaker fuse will blow turning all devices using that circuit off. 

In order to avoid overloading your circuits and prevent the risk of electrical fires, outlets should be upgraded to have the appropriate electrical capacity in each location of your home.  Let the professionals at Courtesy Electric update and install the right circuit breakers in your home today.
