AC Breaker Keeps Tripping in San Angelo, TX
An AC that trips the breaker repeatedly is a safety signal. The breaker is doing its job by cutting power when the AC draws too much current. Do not keep resetting it.
Common Causes
Failed Capacitor
A bad capacitor can make the compressor draw too much current.
Compressor Failure
