How much does electrical troubleshooting cost?
Ask whether the diagnostic is credited toward the repair when you book. Most repairs (bad outlet, loose neutral, failed breaker) finish in the same visit and cost $185 to $575. Hidden faults that need wall opening or attic work cost more; we'll tell you before we go down that path.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Three usual causes: too much load on the circuit (overload), a short circuit (hot touching neutral or ground), or a real ground fault. AFCI breakers can also trip on arc-fault detection, which is sometimes a real problem and sometimes nuisance. The pros we send diagnose which one it is, not just reset and hope.
