Most homes don't have a heavy enough breaker box to handle all the electrics we use these days at the same time. DH replaced our breaker box last year when one breaker kept tripping, in my sewing room. A tripping breaker is a sign, get a heavier duty breaker box. Some homeowners insurance will say a fire caused by a too weak breaker is owner's negligence and that could cause you a lot of problems if that happens. You know if insurance can find a way out they will use it.
