Re: [Electrical] Breakers in newer home keep tripping

My garage has GFCI outlets they do pop once in a while and same in the bathroom but it's just a press to reset on the wall. Not very often but it does happen enough to notice.

You have GFCI breakers or something like that. I have a sink in my garage so I think that's why they put in the garage???

Nope. Code (NEC, at least 2008) says garages are supposed to be GFCI.
