When to Replace Your Circuit Breakers

There are many times when you might consider taking advantage of Mr. Electric of Birmingham’s circuit breaker replacement services. You may replace a circuit breaker in your electric panel as part of routine electrical safety upgrades or in response to a tripped breaker that won’t restore power. Some of the times that we replace circuit breakers include:

  • Overloaded Outlets – If your circuit breakers trip regularly, it may just be a problem with the circuit breaker in that area of the house. Replacing that circuit breaker may allow you to use more appliances and devices in your existing outlets.
  • Security Systems – While installing your new security system, you will need a new circuit breaker to connect your security system to your home’s electrical system.
