However, it is important to find out the exact cause for the tripping so that you can deal with the problem entirely. Read on to learn more about some of the reasons that could be causing your AC to trip the circuit breaker.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>If you are experiencing HVAC related problems such as the AC tripping the breaker, you may have to call in the professionals.

When excessive current draw from a component goes through the circuit, it is usually more than the breaker can take. As a result, the AC trips the circuit breaker. Simply resetting the circuit breaker, therefore, does not help solve the problem, as it does not address what caused the trip in the first place. If this continues, it can result in huge HVAC damages that can be quite expensive to repair.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ac-tripping-breaker-2.jpg\" alt=\"Common Causes for AC Tripping the Breaker\" width=\"300\" height=\"196\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3558\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So, what are the causes of the AC tripping the breaker?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Outdoor Issues<\/strong> &#8211; The outside condenser, as well as the air vents located on the outside, are prone to obstruction by weeds, dirt, leaves, and grime. As a result, heat dissipation may be affected. This will result in extra stress on the equipment, eventually leading to excessive current draw causing the AC to trip the breaker. Outdoor issues are quite easy to deal with, as all you have to do is have a professional clean the outside unit regularly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Insufficient Air Flow<\/strong> &#8211; Insufficient air flow may cause the air conditioner to run almost nonstop. Because of this, the compressor can overheat and draw excess current, which eventually leads to the AC tripping the breaker. In this case, check the air filter and clean or replace it if it is clogged. If the tripping occurs again, you may have to call in an HVAC professional. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Weak Start Capacitor<\/strong> &#8211; The capacitor helps the motor in the compressor start every time the system is powered on. However, with time, the capacitor weakens and causes the compressor to strain. This draws in excess current, which eventually causes the AC to trip the breaker. The start capacitor can easily be replaced by a professional to get rid of this problem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Learn_More_About_Why_Your_AC_Trips_the_Breaker\"><\/span>Learn More About Why Your AC Trips the Breaker<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you have an issue with your AC tripping the breaker, there is so much more involved than simply resetting the breaker, as this is usually the sign of a larger problem with the unit.
