Our diagnostic is $89 and is credited toward the repair if you move forward. Most repairs (bad outlet, loose neutral, failed breaker) finish in the same visit and cost $185 to $575 flat rate. Hidden faults that need wall opening or attic work cost more; we'll tell you before we go down that path.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Three usual causes: too much load on the circuit (overload), a short circuit (hot touching neutral or ground), or a real ground fault. AFCI breakers can also trip on arc-fault detection, which is sometimes a real problem and sometimes nuisance. We diagnose which one it is, not just reset and hope.
