Question
I had electricity installed in my garage for abouy 2 years now with no problems. A couple days ago I had 2 circuit breakers go bad. The next morning the third and last circuit breaker also went bad. They were not trippedso there was no resetting them. What would cause this?

Answer
This is something that needs the tools and experience of a qualified electrician on site to discover.  Personally I have never encountered something like this; bad breakers, yes of course, but a failure like this needs some professional help to determine the cause and solution.  My best guess was a tremondous surge in voltage or current.  Jeff
