Why Does My Circuit Breaker Keep Tripping With Nothing Plugged In?

If a breaker trips with nothing plugged in, the issue is likely wiring or a hard-wired device on that circuit. Causes include a short to ground/neutral, moisture in exterior fixtures, a failing breaker, or an AFCI/GFCI responding to a fault. Iddings Electric Inc handles troubleshooting, panel and wiring repairs, and GFCI/AFCI code corrections in Lancaster and Reading. A licensed tech can test the circuit and fix the fault safely.

  • Do not keep resetting a hot or sparking breaker.
