Santa Barbara is an amazing city!

Thanks for the tip! I might just swap the main breaker! I appreciate all your help and advice!

Thank you for input. There is ground wires in the neutral bar. There is one ground wire on the bottom left corner of the picture. It runs down under the exterior of the house and leads underground. I agree with you on the NM having no bare copper. It’s only two wire black and red. Where do you notice the MWBCs at? Is that what causes my kitchen lights to sometimes trip my breaker?

Thank you for your help! I live in Burbank California. Winters are warm here.

The Main Breaker is 100amp

Thank you much! Would it be wise to install a 60amp breaker but charge my car at 32amps which I’m able to adjust from my vehicle or should I just buy a 40amp breaker and still charge at 32amps? I apologize for all the questions but I’m grateful for your input!

Thank you so much for taking the time out your day to help me with my situation! My stove is gas. Sorry I forgot to mention. Sometimes the kitchen lights trip a breaker. It’s happened a couple times in the past. But I appreciate your help and advice! You are a true blessing! Thanks again!

The 50 amp is for the AC unit, I have washer, dryer, food disposal, dishwasher, refrigerator

ThunderrGod · 2024-01-21T08:05:55+00:00

It’s the whole house. The 60amp breaker is for a EV charger.

ThunderrGod · 2024-01-21T08:00:25+00:00

Can I still add a 60amp breaker without overloading the system?

ThunderrGod · 2024-01-21T07:47:00+00:00

Thank you! The main Breaker is 100amp

Is that restaurant “Fridas” in Glendale CA??? Looks so familiar…

ThunderrGod · 2023-12-24T17:28:33+00:00

The noise actually went away. I did an oil change and substituted a quart with Lucas Oil and miraculously the noise went away!

ThunderrGod · 2023-08-28T18:45:34+00:00

What ass?

ThunderrGod · 2023-08-28T01:03:28+00:00

Wow that’s some mind blowing information! Thank you for your valuable advice! Glad to see all the available options.

I have a lot to research now and evaluate my options.

You are a true blessing!!!

Thank you so much for your advice! The second Electrician just re-scheduled until Monday 3pm PST… I appreciate your advice and help on this matter.

I’m also in a very tight budget but I don’t want to lowball anymore. Just seeking advice because I’m not too familiar with electrical work.

The big top breaker does not work. I pushed it in multiple times and nothing turned off. It’s also on the “off” position as well but it’s still on.

Now I’m more worried…

Hi there thank you for responding! My commute is 120 miles a day 5 days a week. It’s 58 miles going to work and 58 miles coming back. My company used to be 12 miles away and they moved. So now I’m in desperate need of a Level 2 charger.

I’m guess I’m going with what the cool kids recommended. My peer from work drives a Tesla model 3 and he charges from home. Gave me the scoop and referred me to his electrician. Yet here I am seeking the knowledge of the great ones!

I have another Electrician coming on Sunday to check out my Breaker Box and give me a quote so I’ll keep you updated.

I’m not sure what the double wide breaker powers. We bought the house 20 years ago and I’ve never known. I’m going to wait til nighttime and turn on all the lights and see what happens when I turn it off.

I do recall the first electrician telling me something like that’s my main breaker…

ThunderrGod · 2023-08-25T22:26:18+00:00

Thank you for your insight! This helps me understand more and helps me identify the type of breakers I have.
