Answers to Common Questions
View All FAQsWhat Should I Do If My Circuit Breaker Keeps Tripping Repeatedly?
Most repeat trips mean an overload, short, or a failing breaker. First, turn off/unplug devices on that circuit and reset the breaker once. If it trips again, stop resetting it and call a licensed electrician. Do not open the panel or bypass a breaker; this is a fire and shock hazard. Parrish Services provides 24/7 emergency electrical diagnostics, wiring and breaker repair, with live dispatch and no after-hours overtime charges. We serve Reston, Fairfax, and nearby NoVA communities.

An electrical emergency at home is any issue that risks fire, shock, or major loss of power and needs same-day service. Call immediately for sparking outlets, burning smells, hot panels, tripping breakers, or visible arcing. Other emergencies include widespread flickering lights, repeated power surges, exposed or wet wiring, or no power to critical circuits. Generator alarms or a red status light also qualify.

Cost drivers to expect:
- Diagnostic time and complexity
