Why does my breaker keep tripping?
A breaker can trip because of overload, a short circuit, a ground fault, a bad device, damaged wiring, a loose connection, or panel equipment that needs attention.
Should I reset a tripped breaker again?
If it trips again, will not reset, feels hot, buzzes, or smells burnt, stop using that circuit and schedule electrical troubleshooting instead of repeatedly resetting it.
Can a tripped breaker mean a panel problem?
Yes. The cause may be the circuit, the connected load, a device, the breaker, or the panel. Shepherd Electrical checks the full path before recommending a repair.
What should I include when booking?
Include which breaker tripped, what was running, whether it trips immediately or later, and photos of the panel and affected outlet, appliance, or room.
