Questions about emergency diagnosis
Is a burning smell an emergency?
Yes. Turn off the breaker for that area if you can do it safely, then call. If there's smoke or flame, call 911 first.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Usually an overloaded circuit, a short or a ground fault. It's worth having it traced.
