What Should I Do If My Circuit Breaker Keeps Tripping Repeatedly?

If a breaker trips repeatedly, stop resetting it and treat it as a safety issue. Repeated trips often mean an overload, short, ground fault, or a failing breaker. If you smell burning, see scorch marks, hear loud electrical noises, or have flooding near outlets, call for emergency help in Columbus or Groveport.

Quick checks:

• Unplug devices on that circuit and reset once.
• If it trips again, leave it off and call an electrician.
• Stay away from wet areas; avoid using power until inspected.
