Why Does My Breaker Keep Tripping? (and When To Call A Pro)
A tripping breaker is your home's way of preventing a fire. Here are the three most common reasons why it happens:
- check_circle Circuit Overload: Too many devices plugged into one line.
- check_circle Short Circuit: A hot wire is touching a neutral wire.
- check_circle Ground Fault: Electricity is leaking where it shouldn't.
When is it an emergency?
If you see sparks, smell burning plastic, or if the breaker won't stay reset, call a licensed electrician immediately.
