When numerous homes lose power, the issue is a blown transformer or downed power lines. That's for the energy business to work on, and there's not much we can do about it.

Your electrical box is singing to you = emergency situation

Buzzing sounds from the breaker box are another sign of a loose wire or a bad breaker that can trigger a fire. To some individuals, that may sound more like a humming sound.

If the breaker is stopping working to do its task, then your wiring is dealing with heat and power loads it was never suggested to manage. Shut down all power and call us immediately.
