Apparently it is localized.

Many of us had breakers tripping here.... We called The Villages and a gentleman came out and said it was supposed to trip... It was our vacuum causing the problem. Others said they went to Ace and bought something that helped.

We just had our one year inspection and showed it to the gentleman who inspected our home. He put it in the report. The same man who told us it was supposed to trip came out and installed a new breaker... All fixed!

Hope this helps!
