Why Circuit Breakers Matter
Your circuit breakers are the front-line defense between your electrical system and potential hazards. They regulate the flow of electricity through your home or business and are designed to shut down when an overload, short, or surge occurs. When breakers stop working correctly, it puts everything downstream — appliances, lighting, and safety — at risk.
Signs You Need Circuit Breaker Repair or Replacement:
Breakers frequently trip or fail to reset
A burning smell or warmth around the panel
Buzzing sounds from the panel
Lights flicker or dim when large appliances run
Outlets lose power unexpectedly
Your panel still uses fuses instead of breakers
You’ve added new appliances or HVAC systems
The panel is 25+ years old and hasn’t been serviced
If you’ve noticed any of these issues, a licensed electrician should inspect your system right away.

Breaker Installation vs. Panel Upgrade
If your panel is outdated or doesn’t support your current power load, installing a new circuit breaker alone might not solve the problem. In many cases, the safest and most cost-effective option is a panel upgrade, especially if:
Your panel has no room for new breakers
You’ve added high-draw appliances (e.g., HVAC, tankless water heaters)
You’re remodeling or adding new square footage
The existing panel is rusted, corroded, or recalled
We’ll inspect your current panel and explain the options clearly — so you can make the best decision for your home or business.

FAQs – Circuit Breaker Services
Can I replace a circuit breaker myself?
No. Electrical panel work requires a licensed electrician. Improper handling can lead to shock, fire, or code violations.
How much does it cost to replace a breaker?
Pricing depends on the panel type, breaker specs, and labor. We provide clear, written estimates for every project.
Can you install a subpanel in my garage or addition?
Yes. Subpanels are common for home additions, garages, workshops, and outbuildings. We’ll assess the load and wire it to code.
What’s the lifespan of a breaker panel?
Most panels last 25–40 years, but usage, moisture, and manufacturing quality all play a role. We’ll inspect and advise accordingly.
Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger or hot tub?
You might. These devices often require dedicated circuits and may exceed older panel capacity. We’ll evaluate your load and recommend the safest solution.
