electricity going out on one circuit T.B. 07-28-2006
electricity question here...
one of my breakers (20amp) keeps losing electricity, and when I go to check
the circuit box, the breaker is not tripped.
there is not a lot of Wattage on this circuit, just a bunch of ceiling
fans/lights and a couple of outlets that aren't being used for anything.
so I've replaced the breaker with a new one but the problem is still
occurring.
Today when I came home for lunch the circuit went dark, then came on again
before I could even get out to the box to check it again.
All I did was turn one of the ceiling fans up a notch when I got home as it
was hot in the kitchen.
Does this mean that I've a short somewhere and/or bad wiring? If so, is
there a danger of fire? How do I go about resolving this issue?
For now, the circuit is staying off when I am not at the house.

Thanks in advance for any and all advice,
TB in Austin
