What should I do if my breaker keeps tripping?
If a breaker keeps tripping: (1) unplug everything on that circuit, (2) reset the breaker once, (3) if it trips with nothing plugged in, do not reset again - call an electrician, (4) if it holds after unplugging, plug devices back in one at a time to find the culprit. Repeated tripping with nothing plugged in indicates a short circuit, ground fault, or failing breaker - all electrical emergencies. Call Aerosphere at (714) 499-6656.

Can an emergency electrician fix a power outage?
Yes, if the outage is in your home only. First check: are your neighbors out too? If yes, it's a Southern California Edison (SCE) outage - report to SCE at 1-800-611-1911. If only your home is out, it's likely your main breaker, service entrance, or weatherhead - call Aerosphere Electric at (714) 499-6656 for emergency dispatch.
