# Electrical & Circuit Breakers
## Main Electrical Panel
- **Location:** *TBD*
- **Access:** *TBD (describe how to access - door, cabinet, etc.)*
### Panel Layout
*TBD: Add photo or diagram of panel*
| Breaker # | Amperage | Serves |
|-----------|----------|--------|
| Main | *TBD* | Whole property |

## How to Reset a Tripped Breaker
1. Locate the panel
2. Find the tripped breaker (will be in middle position or show red)
3. Push breaker firmly to OFF position
4. Push breaker to ON position
5. If it trips again immediately, there may be a fault - do not keep resetting
> [!warning] If a breaker keeps tripping
> This indicates an electrical problem. Do not repeatedly reset. Contact an electrician.
