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

Questions about circuit breaker replacement in Williamston
Can I replace a circuit breaker myself?

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