How to Reset Your Circuit Breakers


Every once in a while, one of the circuit breakers in your home becomes tripped for any number of reasons. When this happens, you lose electrical power to the devices, lighting fixtures, ceiling fans, outlets, and appliances that are attached to that particular switch. Now, you are faced with trying to remember where the circuit breaker panel is located and how to go about the task of resetting it.
In most cases, resetting a circuit breaker is a simple matter of checking the panel and searching for the switch that has flipped from the on position to the one that indicates the off mode. If this is the case, then all you need to do is flip the circuit breaker switch from the off to the on position. Next, check to see if the electricity is working in the room that is serviced by that particular circuit breaker switch. If it works, then your electrical problem is solved with the exception that you may want to refrain from using the same number of electrical devices that set the circuit breaker off in the first place.
