Our Circuit Breaker Services

A circuit breaker is a safety device for electrical systems. It’s designed to automatically stop the flow of electricity in a circuit when it detects a short circuit or overload. Its main function is to protect your electrical system, appliances, and home from damage by “tripping” (shutting off) when unsafe electrical conditions occur.

We offer complete services for all types of circuit breaker issues— no job is too small or too complex. Our licensed electricians are trained to handle everything from basic repairs to full panel replacements.

Circuit Breaker Installation

If you’re remodeling, expanding, or adding high-powered electrical appliances, you may need to install a new circuit breaker. We’ll evaluate your system and add the right breakers to safely manage your electrical load. We install standard, AFCI, and GFCI circuit breakers, depending on your specific needs.

Circuit Breaker Replacement

Old or damaged breakers can cause frequent outages and put your home at risk. We handle circuit breaker replacement, including outdated or unsafe models that no longer meet code.

If your electrical panel feels warm, smells burnt, or you’re constantly resetting breakers, these are all signs of an issue. Other indicators include noises coming from the panel, flickering or dimming lights, electrical shocks, and hot outlets. If a breaker won’t reset or is visibly damaged, these are also signs that it’s time for replacement.

Circuit Breaker Repair

Not every problem requires a full breaker replacement. If you’re experiencing flickering lights, frequently tripped circuit breakers, or other minor power issues, call our team. We offer fast troubleshooting and affordable circuit breaker repair services that get your system back on track.

Circuit Breaker Maintenance

Preventing electrical problems before they start is key to protecting your property. We offer routine breaker panel maintenance to ensure your panel and breakers are operating safely and efficiently. We check for signs of wear, overheating, corrosion, or loose connections. These types of issues can lead to costly repairs or even electrical fires if ignored.

GFCI and AFCI Circuit Breakers

Modern circuit breakers offer advanced safety features. GFCIs (ground fault circuit interrupters) and AFCIs (arc-fault circuit interrupters) help protect against electrical shocks and fire hazards. Upgrading to newer breakers can enhance your home’s safety.

Certain areas of your home, like kitchens and bathrooms, may require GFCI circuit breaker installation or replacement to meet code and protect your family. These specialized breakers shut off power in a fraction of a second when a ground fault is detected.

Other areas may require AFCI breakers. When a hazardous arc is detected, the AFCI quickly shuts off power to the circuit, reducing the risk of fire.

Our electricians are experienced in upgrading older systems and installing the latest electrical technology. We’ll help you meet code requirements, avoid overloads, and enjoy peace of mind knowing your electrical system is up-to-date.
