Circuit Breaker Replacement

Electricity is the lifeblood of your home, and it's managed by your circuit breakers. Circuit breakers have a larger electrical load to handle every year as our homes become filled with new devices, computers and appliances. Is your circuit breaker panel up to date - or are your old breakers limping along, struggling to meet your family's increasing electrical demands? Grizzly Electric can help your circuit breakers meet your needs.

Symptoms of Overloaded Circuit Breakers

Many homes are still operating with old breakers, and homeowners are beginning to feel the pinch. Is your old circuit breaker panel keeping up? Are you tripping circuit breakers right and left these days? Turn to the experts at Mr. Electric for a circuit breaker replacement.

Other Reasons to Replace Breaker Switches

Overloaded circuits aren't the only reason people replace circuit breakers. After years of use, circuit breakers can go bad. There is no way to repair a faulty breaker, so replacement is the only solution. A circuit breaker that feels hot or smells like it's burning should be replaced immediately. If you have a Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) or Zinsco electrical panel, or if your home still has an old fuse box, you could be in danger of electric shock or fire. Contact Grizzly Electric immediately to schedule an electrical panel upgrade.

Benefits of Circuit Breaker Replacement

Replacing a breaker will deliver an immediate boost in your home's electrical safety and performance. Circuit breaker replacement will also:

  • Protect your expensive electronics, computers and appliances from electrical surges and the risk of damage to the devices
  • Prevent possible data loss from your computers when the electrical supply is interrupted
  • Avoid interruptions to your Internet connection and other important connections to the outside world
  • Minimize the risk of fire when your old circuit breakers get overloaded
  • Allow you to say good-bye to the inconvenience of using just one or two electrical devices or appliances at once to avoid tripping the circuit breaker

Professional Installation Is Key to Safe Circuit Breaker Operation

We cannot overstate how important safety is when it comes to replacing circuit breakers. Your power company's electricity supply runs right into your electrical panel. Replacing a breaker the wrong way can cause a deadly electric shock. Therefore, circuit breaker replacement should only be performed by a qualified electrician. Here are a few more important reasons you need to entrust your circuit breaker replacement to a professional electrician:

  • Improper circuit breaker installation can leave you vulnerable to fire, putting you and your family in danger.
  • You could also experience property loss through a fire or electrical surges from a carelessly installed circuit breaker.
  • Circuit breakers must be installed to code for safety and insurance reasons.
