FAQs
Q: Why does my AC keep tripping the breaker in Washington?A: Most common causes are a failing compressor drawing excess current, a failed capacitor, or a wiring fault. Older DC rowhouse wiring adds another variable — we test current draw at the disconnect to identify the exact cause.
Q: Can I reset my AC breaker and keep using the system in Washington?A: One reset is reasonable to see if it holds. If it trips again, stop resetting and call. Repeated resets on an overloaded circuit can damage the compressor in Washington.
