☀️ Stay Cool in Florida's Heat: Don't Let a Tripped Breaker Interrupt Your Comfort

As the summer heat intensifies, the last thing you want is for your air conditioning (AC) system to fail. A common issue homeowners face is an AC breaker that keeps tripping and won’t reset.

⚡ Why Does the Breaker for My AC Keep Tripping?

To prevent fires and damage, your circuit breaker is designed to cut power during electrical overloads or short circuits. When your AC breaker keeps tripping, it’s a signal that something is wrong.

🔧 Common Causes of Tripping AC Breakers:

• Overloaded Circuit: AC is drawing more power than the circuit can provide
• Short Circuit in the System: Damaged wires or components cause a power surge
• Faulty Capacitor or Compressor: These parts may pull too much power if they fail
• Dirty Air Filters: Reduced airflow causes freezing and system overload
• Low Refrigerant Levels: Forces the compressor to overwork and overheat

🔍 What Should I Check Before Calling a Pro?

Here are three simple checks you can perform:

• Inspect Your Air Filters – Replace dirty filters to improve airflow
• Listen to the Compressor – Humming or clicking may signal trouble
• Check the Circuit Load – Ensure no other large appliances are on the same breaker

If none of these resolve the issue, stop there. Electrical problems aren’t worth the risk.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why is regular AC maintenance important?

Maintenance improves efficiency, extends system life, and catches small problems before they cause bigger issues.

Can a tripped breaker damage my AC system?

Yes. It’s a symptom of a larger issue. Repeated trips can damage the system if the root problem isn’t fixed.

How often should I replace my air filters?

Every 30 to 90 days—more often if you have pets, allergies, or high usage.

What are the signs that my AC's capacitor needs replacement?

• AC takes a long time to start or doesn’t start
• The system makes humming noises
• AC turns off or runs without cooling

Is it safe to reset a tripped breaker myself?

Once? Yes. Repeatedly? No. If the breaker keeps tripping, call a licensed HVAC professional.

How can I tell if my AC is overloading the circuit?

Look for frequent breaker trips, lights dimming when the AC starts, or power interruptions to other appliances.
