Circuit Breaker Keeps Tripping in Luxembourg – Find the Real Cause
A breaker that trips once is doing its job. A breaker that trips every evening is telling you something is wrong. Resetting it repeatedly hides a fault that is still there — we find the circuit or appliance responsible and fix it.
Overload, Short Circuit or Earth Leakage?
Three very different faults look identical from the hallway: Overload — too much load on one circuit. Typical in kitchens: kettle, oven and dishwasher on the same line. Short circuit — live and neutral meeting directly, usually a damaged cable, a failed appliance or water ingress. Trips instantly and hard. Earth leakage — current escaping to earth, which trips the RCD. Common with old heating elements, outdoor sockets after rain, or a failing water heater. The fix depends entirely on which one it is, which is why guessing is expensive.
What You Can Check Before Calling
1. Note which breaker trips and what you were using at that moment. 2. Unplug everything on that circuit, reset once, then reconnect appliances one by one. 3. If it trips with nothing plugged in, the fault is in the fixed wiring — stop there. 4. If it trips only in wet weather, mention that: it points at an outdoor circuit or a leak. 5. Never tape, wedge or replace a breaker with a higher rating.
How We Diagnose It
We isolate circuits, measure insulation resistance and leakage, and separate fixed wiring faults from appliance faults. In many cases the culprit is a single device — a washing machine heating element or an outdoor lamp full of water — and no rewiring is needed at all. Where the wiring is the problem, we show you the measurement and the affected section before proposing repair.

Call immediately if there is a burning smell, a warm socket or board, visible scorching, or if the whole apartment trips as soon as power is restored. Our emergency line is available 24/7 on +352 27 58 58 25.

"These guys are lifesavers! On a Sunday afternoon my pipe burst and they came and fixed it very quickly. The service fee was affordable, especially considering they were the only available option I could find. From now on I won't use another plumber."
