Breaker Keeps Tripping in Lewiston? We Fix It

When a breaker keeps tripping in your Lewiston home, the breaker itself may be the problem, or it may be warning you about the circuit. We test both before replacing anything, so you are not paying for a part that was doing its job.

Your local choice for circuit breaker replacement in Lewiston, MI

Up north, power can be out for a while when a storm rolls through. In Lewiston and the rest of Montmorency County, wells, septic pumps and furnaces all depend on electricity, so reliability matters more than it does in town. We keep that in mind whenever we take on circuit breaker replacement, and we are happy to talk about backup power while we are there.

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 Lewiston test before they swap, because a new breaker on a faulted circuit solves nothing.
