The answer to 'why do my circuit breakers keep tripping' is that there are several common causes, including overloaded circuits, short circuits, ground faults, and aging electrical systems. Circuit breakers are designed to trip and cut power when they detect an electrical problem to prevent fire or damage, so tripping is a safety feature working as intended.
Some common symptoms of circuit breaker issues include lights flickering, outlets not working, or the breaker tripping repeatedly. Solutions can include reducing the electrical load on the circuit, repairing short circuits, replacing faulty breakers, or upgrading the electrical system. While some basic troubleshooting can be done DIY, it's best to call a licensed electrician if the problem persists or you're unsure of the cause.
