Electrical Tips
When attempting to repair any electrical problems please contact a qualified professional to help you get the job done correctly. To contact our warranty department please see the appropriate form on the left.

  • Know the location of the breaker panel; it includes a main shut-off that controls all the electrical power to the home. Some homes have more than one breaker panel, each panel has its own main shut-off. Individual breakers control the separate circuits, which are marked to help you identify which outlets and appliances are generally attached to that circuit. If you lose power in an area of your home always check the breakers in the main panel box. If an individual outlet is not working, first check to see if a wall switch or GFCI controls it. If not, check the breaker.


  • Test all ground-fault-circuit-interrupter (GFCI) type outlets every 6 months to insure proper protection.


  • Circuit breakers have three positions: on, off, and tripped. When a circuit breaker trips, it must first be turned off before it can be turned on. Switching the breaker directly from tripped to on will not restore service. Breakers trip due to overloads caused by plugging too many appliances into the circuit, a worn cord, defective appliance or operating an appliance with too high a voltage requirement (such as a microwave) for the circuit. The starting of an electric motor can also trip a breaker. If any circuit trips repeatedly, unplug all items connected to it and reset the breaker. If it trips when nothing is connected to it, you need to call an electrician. If the circuit remains on, one of the items you unplugged is defective and will require repair or replacement.


  • Replace all extension cords that are brittle, worn or damaged.
