Why Your AC Keeps Tripping The Breaker
If your AC keeps tripping the breaker, do not just keep flipping it back on. That breaker is doing its job and protecting your home from an electrical problem somewhere in the system.
A few common reasons it happens:
- A dirty air filter making the system work harder
- A failing capacitor or motor pulling too much power
- Low refrigerant forcing the compressor to overheat
- Loose or worn electrical connections
- An aging compressor on its way out
Resetting it once is fine, but if it keeps happening, get it looked at before bigger damage shows up.
