Why a breaker keeps tripping
There are three usual suspects. An overload means too much is plugged into one circuit. A short circuit or ground fault means damaged wiring or a failing appliance. And an old breaker can simply weaken and trip below its rating. The first is fixed by adding a circuit, the second by repairing the fault and the third by replacing the breaker. Our electricians in Albion test before they swap, because a new breaker on a faulted circuit solves nothing.

We carry common types and can source others. For some obsolete panels, replacement of the panel is the safer choice.
