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

Circuit Breaker Replacement in Paris: common questions
Can I replace a circuit breaker myself?
The inside of a panel remains live even with the main off. We strongly recommend leaving breaker replacement to an electrician.
How long do breakers last?
Often 30 years or more, but heat, moisture and repeated tripping shorten their life.
Why does my AFCI breaker trip?
It may be detecting real arcing, or reacting to a particular appliance. We test to find out which.
Do you stock breakers for older panels in Paris?
We carry common types and can source others. For some obsolete panels, replacement of the panel is the safer choice.
