Modern home electricity is only safe and practical because of circuit breakers. They are the essential safety mechanisms that make sure your electrical system isn’t overloaded or that too much current isn’t flowing through your electrical wiring. When a circuit is taxed because too many items are trying to pull power from it, the breaker simply shuts it off. This reduces risk of fire and keeps homes safe.
Circuit Breaker Repair & Replacement
Like all electrical components, circuit breakers are generally long lasting and reliable, but sometimes they can malfunction, requiring a replacement. In addition to safely and quickly replacing the failed breaker, our electricians can also diagnose the underlying cause of the malfunction. In some cases, the electrical panel may need repairs or updates, or additional circuits need to be added to reduce the strain on existing breakers.
Circuit Breaker Installation
We can also help you avoid electrical overloads with circuit breaker installation in your home or business or update them to ensure they are aligned with current electrical codes. For example, your kitchen, bathroom, and outdoor areas should be equipped with ground fault circuit interrupter breakers that will cut power in the event of a line-to-ground fault which is more likely to occur in wet areas.
