Frequently asked questions
Common questions before you schedule electrical work.
Why does my circuit breaker keep tripping?
Repeated trips can be caused by an overloaded circuit, a short circuit, a ground fault, damaged equipment, loose connections or a breaker that needs evaluation. The cause should be diagnosed before replacing or changing breaker size.
Should I keep resetting a breaker that trips?
A single trip may have an obvious cause, but a breaker that repeatedly trips should be evaluated. Do not defeat, bypass or install a larger breaker simply to stop the tripping.
