What Should I Do If My Circuit Breaker Keeps Tripping Repeatedly?
If a breaker keeps tripping, stop repeatedly resetting it and have it diagnosed. Repeated trips usually mean an overload, short circuit, ground fault, or a failing breaker. First Call Jewel provides 24/7 emergency electrical service in Idaho Falls and nearby cities.
Quick checks:
- Unplug or turn off devices on that circuit, then reset once.
- Look for signs of heat or burning; if found, call immediately.
- Test any GFCI/AFCI outlets or breakers linked to that circuit.
- Do not tape or hold a breaker on.
- Our inspection includes opening the panel, tightening connections, and testing GFCI/AFCI and grounds.
