Expert Circuit and Tripped Breaker Repair

If you have a breaker that trips every once in a while, it’s actually doing what it’s supposed to do: shutting down power before the wires become overheated and potentially cause a fire. But if the same breaker keeps tripping over and over again, it means that something isn’t quite right. If you live in an older home, chances are you’re more than familiar with your breakers tripping more than “usual”. Most older electrical systems simply aren’t built to handle the electrical load of modern appliances like computers and air fryers.

Most homeowners just flip the breaker back on and don’t give it much thought, and that may work for a bit, but over time, the problem will just get worse. Understanding why your breaker keeps tripping will help you know the difference between a simple overload and when it could be something more. At Control Point Heating • Cooling • Plumbing • Electric, we help homeowners learn more about their electrical systems and help protect their homes with reliable circuit and tripped breaker repair in Shrewsbury.

The Common Causes of Tripped Breakers

Overloaded Circuits

Overloaded circuits are the most common cause for tripped breakers. It means there are too many devices pulling power from the same circuit and pushing it past its limits. If your home has multiple computers, gaming consoles, or appliances like window AC units, hair dryer, microwave, or space heaters, you’re dealing with all the most frequent culprits. Especially if you have any of these running at the same time.

Short Circuits

A short circuit happens when a hot wire touches a neutral wire; it causes instant electrical current spikes and will trip the breaker almost immediately. These can be some of the most dangerous trips because they’re often caused by damaged cords, loose connections, aged wiring throughout the house, or even rodent-chewed damage. Burning smells and popping noises are common with short circuit trips.

Ground Faults

When electricity “accidentally” finds a path to the ground, typically because of moisture or a damaged appliance, it’s called a ground fault. Water and electricity do not mix, which is why having GFCI breakers and outlets that are designed to catch ground faults fast is so important in kitchens, bathrooms, and your outdoor areas.

Arc Faults

An arc fault is when an unintended arc is created by a current flowing through an unplanned path. AFCI breakers detect these dangerous arcs. These are so dangerous because they can start a fire without fully shorting out. If you have one of these breakers constantly tripping, it could indicate a serious problem with the wiring in your walls or outlets.

A Failing Appliance or Breaker

Sometimes, a breaker is just worn out and needs to be replaced. Other times, you could have a faulty appliance that is drawing too much power or has an abnormal current that’s stressing the circuit. It could be caused by a jammed motor or failing heating elements.
