Circuit Breaker
The circuit breaker is a necessary safety technology in your home. Whenever your wiring has too much power flowing through it, the circuit breaker cuts the power until the issue can be resolved.
Without these machines, household electricity could easily cause fires, injury, and other safety hazards.
The most common reason for a tripped breaker is an overloaded circuit. If your electrical needs are requiring more power from your electrical circuit than it can safely handle, your electrical panel will shut down to prevent overheating and further damage, and you may consider rewiring or adjusting the power systems in your home to avoid further issues.

Hot Wires
A hot wire is the initial power source to a circuit. It carries the current from the power source through your residential wiring to power your home.
Hot wires are always carrying electricity, meaning it is dangerous to touch a hot wire while there is a power source feeding it. Before you go shutting down your fuse box, consider the risks associated with trying to trouble shoot your own electrical issues, and instead call on the professionals at Integrity Electrical.

Ground Wire
A ground wire is an electrical wire that extends into the ground below your home. The purpose of a ground wire is to give excess electrical charges a safe place to go.
A ground wire helps those positive charges get to the ground in a safe, direct and controlled way, where they can be discharged without the risk of electrical shock or fire.
