King Electric and Solar serves Auburn and Placer County with licensed electricians who understand local homes and the demands placed on older and newer electrical systems alike. When a breaker keeps tripping or stops holding a load, we find the actual cause rather than applying a temporary fix.
From a single stubborn breaker to a panel full of aging components, we handle the full scope of breaker-related repairs.
Diagnosis of breakers that trip repeatedly or without cause
Replacement of worn, damaged, or faulty breakers
Repair of breakers that won't reset after tripping
Identification of overloaded or undersized circuits

We keep the process straightforward so you know what to expect from the first call to the completed repair.
Tell us what you're experiencing, whether a breaker trips under load, won't reset, or shows signs of heat or burning. This helps us arrive prepared with the right parts.
Our electrician inspects the breaker, the panel, and the circuit involved. We look for root causes like overloads, wiring faults, or a breaker that has simply reached the end of its service life.
We explain exactly what we found and what the repair involves. You get a straight answer before we touch anything.
We complete the repair correctly, test the breaker under normal conditions, and confirm the circuit is operating safely before we leave.
Find clear answers about service options, scheduling, preparation, and what to expect before you request an estimate.
Q1
The most common reasons are an overloaded circuit, a short circuit somewhere in the wiring, or a ground fault. A breaker that trips repeatedly is doing its job, but the underlying cause needs to be found and corrected.
Q2
You can try resetting it once by switching it fully off and then back on. If it trips again right away or won't hold, stop and call an electrician. Repeated resets on a faulty circuit can create a fire hazard.
Q3
Signs of a bad breaker include a burning smell near the panel, a breaker that feels warm or hot, one that won't stay in the on position, or visible scorch marks. Any of these call for a professional inspection.
Q4
Yes. Breaker repair addresses a specific breaker or circuit issue. A panel upgrade replaces the entire panel when it is outdated, undersized, or unsafe. Sometimes an inspection reveals that a full upgrade makes more sense than repairing individual breakers.
Q5
Yes. Older homes in Auburn and across Placer County often have panels that haven't been touched in decades. We work with older equipment and can tell you honestly whether repair is the right path or if the panel needs attention.
Q6
A straightforward breaker replacement usually takes under an hour. If the problem involves wiring or a more complex circuit fault, it takes longer. We can give you a better estimate once we've looked at the panel.
Q7
Yes. We serve Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Lincoln, Grass Valley, Nevada City, El Dorado Hills, and the surrounding communities throughout the region.
Q8
Note which breaker is involved and what was running when it tripped. Avoid using that circuit until we arrive. If you smell burning or see any signs of arcing, keep everyone away from the panel and call us right away.
