When Do You Need Circuit Breaker Replacement?
Replacing a defective circuit breaker is a smart investment that protects your home and appliances. However, circuit breakers are often overlooked since they are typically located in less visible areas like the basement. Thankfully, there are several telltale signs that can indicate you need circuit breaker replacement. Below are some of them:
- Circuit breaker keeps tripping. This is one of the most common warning signs of a defective circuit breaker. Turning it on and off will only provide a temporary solution. For a reliable long-term fix, give us a call. Our experts can resolve any likely problems immediately and provide recommendations if additional solutions are needed.
- Amp wiring is wrong. If your breaker panel has a problem, you need to check the number of amps that goes through the wiring. You can find it at the top of the panel. Old homes typically have 60 amp wiring. However, modern ones need 200 amp wiring to function accordingly. If you suspect your amp wiring is causing problems, get in touch with us asap.
- Breaker trips when you plug in an appliance. If your breaker trips when you plug in a specific appliance, it is likely that you don’t have the correct type of amp wiring at home. In some cases, this can also indicate a problem with your breaker panel. Whatever the problem may be, our experts can quickly (and accurately) diagnose and fix it.
- Burning smell. A burning smell is an indication that something might be seriously wrong with your breaker panel. Bringing in our professionals will give you peace of mind, knowing any problem can be addressed promptly and properly.
- Panel is hot when touched. If the breaker panel is hot when touched, something might be wrong with your electrical system. Have our expert electricians come over and they can assess if a replacement is required.
- Black spot on the outlet or panel. If you notice a black spot or burned area on your circuit breaker, replacing it immediately is recommended. Black spots and burns on the outlet can also be caused by a problem with the electrical wiring system. Fortunately, it’s something our friendly professionals can easily fix.
- Buzzing. Buzzing sounds from the circuit breaker is often an indication it needs to be replaced. Never attempt to fix any electrical problems on your own. Otherwise, you will be putting your safety and your property at risk.
