Electric System

Like all utility system in your home, your electric system was installed to rigid specifications and

inspected by the El Paso Building Services Department. Underwriters Laboratory (ULI) - approved

components were used throughout.

You have three-wire grounded system. Never remove the bare wire which connects to the box or

device. Three-hole grounded receptacles are standard and will accept normal two-prong plugs.

Switch Receptacles – In the living room, family room and bedrooms switch receptacles may operate

one half of an electric outlet. Be sure switch is on and appliances (lamp) is on before you call for

service.

Circuit breakers are the safety valves of your home’s electrical system. Your circuit breaker panel was

shown to you during your walk-through inspection. As advised earlier, recheck the location of this

panel as soon as you move in. It is much easier to remedy problems if all circuit breakers are labeled.

If this has not already been done, do so as soon as possible after you move in.

Electrical outlets in your kitchen, all bathrooms, the garage, patio, and any outside locations, are

connected to a ground fault interceptor (GFI/GFCI). This safety device is required by local and

national electrical building codes. Any minor increase in the resistance in that circuit will cause the

GFI/GFCI to trip the related circuit breaker, cutting off the circuit’s power. The GFI/GFCI is very

sensitive and will react to a frayed appliance cord, other minor shorting, or even moisture in the outlet,

check your GFI/GFCI, the related circuit breakers, and your appliances on that line. The GFI/GFCI

test/reset button is on one of the outlets in the circuit and controls that circuit. If you plan to use power

tools or if you have a freezer it may be advisable to have another separate circuit, not on the

GFI/GFCI designated for this purpose.

Circuit breakers should be checked immediately in the event of any electrical failure. All of them

should be in the “On” position. If any are not, they may be reset by pushing the handle to the “Off”

position until you felt the contact reset, and then move the handle to “On” position. Some breakers

come from the factory with dust or oil on them and may need to be switched several times.

If the breaker again flips to “Off”, this indicates a short circuit, so individually check every lamp and

appliance on that circuit. If this circuit involves the kitchen, baths, or garage; check the GFI/GFCI

plugs by pushing their RESET buttons. Unplug all appliances or electrical equipment on the circuit

that is off, reset the breaker, and then turn on one lamp or appliance at a time until you find the

circuit’s faulty component.

If trouble continues, call Palo Verde Homes or an electrician. In case of complete power failure, call

the power company. Do not call the electrician until you are sure that all circuit breakers and the

GFI/GFCI- protected plugs are on.
