Dangers of Electricity

I am writing to share some important information regarding the potential hazards of overloaded circuits.

Overloading an electrical circuit can result in significant issues. While most modern homes are designed to manage such overloads by tripping the circuit breaker, it remains essential to prevent these situations.

An overloaded circuit arises when excessive electrical demand is placed on a single circuit. The possible consequences are fires, damaged wiring, ruined appliances, shocks, and even electrocution. It also offers advice on how to identify a circuit overload, such as recognizing when a room loses power, lights flicker, or buzzing sounds emanate from outlets.

Furthermore, Studies suggest that frequent circuit overloads, despite normal usage, may indicate the need to upgrade your circuit breaker. Lumen and Loads provides services for replacing outdated circuit breakers and ensuring that your wiring can accommodate the electrical demands of contemporary appliances.
