Yes, resetting a standard tripped circuit breaker is a routine maintenance task that homeowners can perform safely themselves, provided they follow proper safety precautions. To reset a breaker, locate your main electrical panel, open the metal door, and firmly push the switch handle all the way to the "Off" position until you feel and hear a distinct mechanical click, then push it firmly back to the "On" position. You can troubleshoot electrical panel safety safely by standing on a dry floor and avoiding bare metal components. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when firmly flipping the switch handle back to the "On" position restores steady electrical power to the previously dead outlets and lights on that branch circuit without the breaker tripping again.
