How do I find and reset a tripped breaker in my electrical panel?

When you open the door to your electrical panel all of the breakers should be in the on position with their handles towards the center of the electrical panel.  Look for a breaker that the handle is in a different position.  Some breakers will trip into the middle position, some will trip into the off position.  Some circuit breakers will have a small window on them that when they trip an orange or red indicator can be seen, making it easy to identify where your problem is.  Once the breaker is located, turn it into the full off position.  It should click into place.  Once this happens the breaker can be turned into the on position again, restoring power.  If the circuit breaker trips there is an issue with that circuit somewhere and it would be best to call HB Electric Solutions at 253-256-7861 and we will come out and solve your problem.
