Having an appliance tripping your circuit breaker is never a good thing, but having your furnace cause difficulties through the coldest Lexington days is pretty high on James Heating & A/C, Inc’s list of “Bad Things.” If your furnace is tripping your circuit breaker, there is a chance you need a furnace repair. James Heating & A/C, Inc can help you identify what the exact problem is, but here are examples of reasons we commonly see: overworked furnaces, short circuits and wiring problems.
