I have been asked what else did you have on..as if I run around and turn on all the lights, the TV, the oven, the stereo, the vacuum...etc. Yesterday the breaker that controls the opposite side of the house tripped. I had on one light and the iron. ( that will teach me to iron!) I have lived in enough houses to know that this is not normal. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am concerned now that the house is not properly wired. Any calming thoughts???
Remove the arc fault breakers, put 'em in a box so you can reinstall them if you sell the house and install standard breakers. Problem solved, calm enough ? Very easy DIY job, if you're squeamish about electricity just kill the main breaker and get to it.
