Frequently asked questions
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Common causes include an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance, a short circuit or a ground fault. Repeated tripping should be evaluated, not ignored.
Is a flickering light dangerous?
It may be a simple bulb or dimmer issue, but it can also indicate a loose connection. If it persists, have it checked.
Can I reset a breaker myself?
Resetting once is usually fine. If it trips again, stop resetting it and contact an electrician.
