How HouseIt approaches electrical problems
Emphasize protective devices, load context and licensed verification rather than DIY panel work. This cluster is organized by decision type—diagnosis, severity, sizing, repair-versus-replace or selection—so several long-tail questions can use one deeper engine rather than generating duplicate tools.
What information changes the result
Common decision inputs in this cluster include breaker, GFCI, service amperage, panel, load calculation, nameplate, MCA, MOCP. HouseIt asks for these progressively and keeps unknown values explicit.
Where an online check stops
Never recommend bypassing protection, upsizing breakers, or removing energized panel covers.
