A circuit breaker trips as a protective measure to prevent overheating and potential fires. If you observe any of these signs, turn off the affected circuit breaker and move some devices to a different circuit. If the problem persists after turning the breaker back on, you should contact a professional electrician to resolve the issue.

Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.
