Hi Everyone,. It seems whenever the temperature gets over 100 degrees or so, a particular breaker in my house will trip if even a slight load is put on it. The breaker box is being directly hit by the sun in the afternoons, and it seems that if I attempt to cool the box, this cures the problem temporarily. The problem will go away as soon as the sun is low enough so the box is in shade. Is this a faulty breaker? I'm not an electrician, so how much would it be $-wise for an electrician to come out and fix this? Thanks for any help you could give me in this!
