  • Circuit breaker installation prevents fires and other disasters that an electrical overload can cause. The components of your home’s electrical system are designed to safely manage a certain amount (or amps) of electricity. Circuit breakers constantly manage the amperage of electricity flowing through an area of your home. If the amperage exceeds the safe levels, it will trip and cut off electricity to that area of the home. The team of qualified and licensed professionals at Mr. Electric of Chapel Hill knows how to install new circuits in a panel in the safest and most effective ways. This gives you and your family the freedom to use all the appliances and electronic devices you need without fear of a fire being caused by electrical overload.

How to Know Your Circuit Breakers Should Be Upgraded


Many homeowners do not realize that they have the power to replace and upgrade the circuit breakers in their electrical panels. In fact, this is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to improve the safety and performance of your home’s electrical system. When your circuit breakers are tripping several times a day, it is obvious that it is time to install a new breaker. However, there are many subtle signs that you should replace your circuit breakers. Some of the situations that call for new circuit breakers include:

  • Overloaded Outlets – When certain outlets cause the circuit breakers to trip on a regular basis, it is a surefire sign that you need to replace those outlets. You should consider upgrading to a higher amperage when installing a new circuit breaker.
  • Specialty Lighting – Specialty lights, like track lighting, canned lights, and wall sconces, can require a heavy electrical load. It is often a good idea to install a new breaker to manage the electricity provided to your newly installed lighting fixtures.
  • Security Systems – That new security system you are thinking about installing may pull more power from your home than you suspect. That is why we often recommend installing a special breaker to handle the load provided to your security system.
  • New Appliances – Anytime you install a new major appliance, like a freezer or a refrigerator, you should check with a licensed electrician to determine if you need a special circuit breaker.
  • Ceiling Fans – Installing a circuit breaker for a ceiling fan can give you the ability to control the fan and light separately and improve home safety.
  • Additional Outdoor Outlets – It’s easy to install new outlets on the outside of your home. However, you may also need to upgrade your circuit breakers to handle the additional electrical load.
  • Emergency Generators – An emergency generator is great for keeping the power on in a blackout, but it requires the installation of a new circuit breaker to manage the power provided by the generator.
  • Energy Efficient Upgrades – We’re glad you’re upgrading your home with solar panels, EV chargers, and other energy-efficient features, but don’t forget to install electrical outlets that can handle the input or output from those new components.
  • Garage or Workshop – They are called power tools for a reason. With a high-capacity circuit breaker, you’ll have the power to run all the tools, equipment, and machinery you need at the same time. That means you can get every project done that much faster.

  • Exterior Building Circuit Installation and Service

    Exterior buildings provide valuable space for a range of needs. Equipping those outbuildings with electricity makes them more accessible day and night and expands their functionality. Your local Mr. Electric® provides electrical services for detached buildings in your area.

  • Hot Tub Circuit Installation and Service

    A safe and effective hot tub installation requires a dedicated circuit. That circuit supplies power exclusively to the hot tub, and it should be installed by a licensed electrician.

  • Outdoor Kitchen Circuit Installation and Service

    Few home upgrades are as functional and appealing as an outdoor kitchen. If you enjoy cooking and want to spend more time outdoors, this renovation will be worth it. Allow your local Mr. Electric® advise about your outdoor kitchen electrical requirements and perform expert electrical services.

  • Pool Circuit Installation and Service

    Keeping your pool healthy and clear requires a pool pump, which in turn requires its own dedicated circuit. Your local Mr. Electric® offers full-service pool circuit installation, from obtaining the appropriate permits to connecting the pump to your home’s electrical panel.

  • Subpanel Installation and Service

    The main electrical panel in your home is the conduit through which all of your home’s electricity is distributed throughout the house. Every home has one. Some homes also have a subpanel (or multiple subpanels) installed to distribute electricity to a specific, often distant, area of the property.
