Not enough electric power installed in the house?

Posted by linda , on
After a recent flooding, a restoration company has put several fans and 2 large dehumidifiers in my laundry room and kitchen to dry everything out but the circuit breakers keep turning things off. What can be done?

Hi Linda It looks like you need a temporary secondary consumer unit to run the extra power, or possibly your existing board if its modern may have some spare ways to enable a temporary additional ring to be added whilst the room dries Hope this helps
