What people in Finly call about
- A home built between about 1965 and 1973 with branch circuit aluminium
- Breakers that feel hot, trip without load or will not reset cleanly
- Sparks when you plug something in, or a breaker that will not reset
- Before a major renovation, solar, battery or EV decision
- Two-prong outlets throughout, or three-prong outlets with no ground path
- Energy retrofit to LED with occupancy controls
- Breakers of a brand no longer manufactured, so no replacement is available
If any of those are happening now, treat the circuit as suspect: switch it off at the panel and have it tested rather than resetting a breaker repeatedly.
