Tripping circuit breakers on older panels
Why it happens here
Panels from the 1960s and 1970s were sized for fewer appliances. When you add a modern HVAC, a dryer, and a kitchen full of small appliances, the circuit overloads and the breaker trips. It is a capacity problem, not a breaker problem.
Our approach
We run a load calculation on the panel, identify which circuits are over capacity, and either redistribute the load or upgrade the panel. We also replace any breaker that has been tripped repeatedly, since the internal mechanism weakens over time.
