re: Why are my circuits dying?

you talking about light switches?
Yessir. We have a number of light circuits in the house where there is 1-3 lights and two switches, one at each door to the room. Recently the circuit in question has one ceiling lamp. I replaced the bulb and it still doesn't turn on. Upon testing the switches, the west switch changes the polarity of the circuit as you flip the switch. The east switch does not, which tells me it might be shorted or something.

the switch only controls the light/ceiling fan so the outlets arent part of the problem.
that said, if you have more than just one light/ceiling fan on that switch, it may be maxed out on the amps its designed to handle.
if you have an unusual setup and you think you may need to upgrade the regular standard 15a switch to a 20a or 25a to meet the power draw, they are easy to find at the supply stores
