What people in Towaco call about
- Rework by an unlicensed handyman is suspected
- Alarms that are not interconnected, so a basement fire does not wake the bedrooms
- Adding a home office, workshop, entertainment wall or kitchen appliance
- Knob-and-tube, cloth-wrapped or fabric-insulated wiring is visible
- Outdoor, security or landscape lighting that needs wiring
- A GFCI will not reset or keeps tripping with nothing plugged in

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.
