Storm preparedness
Surge protection, safe generator connections and secure service equipment help homes handle mountain storms.

Older homes
Evaluating older panels and adding GFCI protection are common priorities.
Electric heat and winter breaker trips
Many homes on Sand Mountain rely on heat pumps with electric backup heat, electric furnaces or baseboard heaters. On the coldest mornings, backup heat strips can draw heavily, and older or undersized panels may trip or run warm. Space heaters plugged into shared bedroom circuits add to the load.
If breakers trip mainly in cold weather, a load check of the heating circuits and panel is a good idea. The fix may be a dedicated circuit, a corrected breaker size or a service upgrade.
Manufactured and older homes
Manufactured homes and older site-built homes each have their own electrical details — service pedestals or meter poles, feeders to the home, and panels that may be original. Checking connections at the pole and panel is often the first step when lights flicker or power drops.

Frequently asked questions
Electric backup heat and space heaters draw a lot of current. An overloaded circuit or a panel near capacity will trip or heat up under that load.
Plug them directly into a wall outlet, never an extension cord or power strip, and avoid sharing the circuit with other heavy loads. Warm outlets are a warning sign.
Homeowner-owned meter poles and pedestals can be repaired, with utility coordination for disconnect and reconnect.
