AFCI Tripping Diagnostics

Expert Troubleshooting for Arc Fault Circuit Interruptions

If your Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs) keep tripping, you're not alone. These protective breakers are essential for preventing electrical fires—but false trips and persistent interruptions can become frustrating fast. At Hurley Electric LLC, we offer professional AFCI tripping diagnostics and repair services throughout Mebane, NC, to get your electrical system working safely and reliably again.



Our licensed electricians specialize in identifying the underlying causes of AFCI trips, from faulty wiring to incompatible devices, and delivering permanent solutions that meet code and restore full function.

What Is an AFCI and Why Does It Trip?

An Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter is designed to detect dangerous arc faults—tiny sparks caused by damaged or loose wiring. When an arc is detected, the breaker cuts power to the circuit instantly to prevent potential fires.

However, AFCIs can also trip for other reasons:


  • Loose wire connections
  • Aging or damaged electrical outlets
  • Overloaded or improperly grounded circuits
  • Incompatible appliances or electronics
  • Faulty light fixtures
  • Worn or low-quality breakers

Without professional evaluation, these trips can continue to happen—disrupting your daily life or business operations and possibly leaving dangerous issues unresolved.

Circuit Testing & Arc Fault Detection

We use advanced testing equipment to simulate faults and pinpoint exactly where and why the AFCI is tripping.

Breaker Replacement

Not all tripping is caused by external issues—sometimes the breaker itself is the problem. We replace defective AFCI breakers with reliable, code-compliant units.

Wiring Inspection & Repairs

We locate and repair loose connections, damaged wires, or improper installations that can cause intermittent arc faults.

Load Analysis

We assess the devices and appliances running on the circuit to ensure they are compatible with AFCI protection.

Code Compliance Review

We ensure your AFCI installations meet NEC (National Electrical Code) standards—critical during home sales, renovations, or insurance inspections.

Common Signs of AFCI Problems

You may need AFCI diagnostics if you notice:


  • Repeated tripping when plugging in devices
  • Tripping when certain lights are turned on
  • AFCIs that won’t reset
  • Buzzing or clicking at the breaker panel
  • Tripping with no visible cause

Don’t ignore these signs—especially in older homes or buildings with recently added appliances or remodeled rooms. Improper wiring or overloaded circuits may be putting your property at risk.
