Under no circumstances should you try to troubleshoot your residential electrical system on your own. You should contact a licensed and insured electrician whenever you have an electrical problem, both for your personal safety, and to ensure your home's electrical system remains up to code.

This could be due to a number of reasons such as overloaded circuits, faulty wiring or breakers, or loose connections. If your home experiences frequent power outages or your electrical system is outdated, it may be time for an upgrade. It is best to have your electrical system inspected by a licensed electrician. 

Life is unpredictable. We can help you choose the backup generator that will meet your needs and install it so that you are ready for any unexpected power outages. 

There are a number of different reasons for why this could be happening. It is best to have this investigated and inspected by a licensed electrician as it could potentially be a dangerous situation. 

The outlet in question is considered a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). These outlets are required by code to protect personnel. They are very sensitive and can turn off the circuit and all associated outlets with it. If there are items not working in your home, it is best to reset these buttons before calling an electrician. However, if it does not reset or continues to trip, it should be inspected as soon as possible by a licensed electrician. 

In all instances, when a circuit breaker trips it stops in the middle position. To properly reset, it will need to be turned completely off first; this will require slight pressure. Then flip back to the on position. If the problem persists, have a licensed electrician investigate.
