- Electrical Panel Relocation – If your electrical panel is in a less-than-ideal location, we can help you move it to a better spot within your home.
How to Identify a Bad Circuit Breaker
The circuit breakers are among the most important parts of your electrical panel. When your electrical system is at risk of electrical overload, the circuit breakers will trip and cut off electricity to a specific area of your home. There are many reasons that your circuit breakers can go bad, from age to overuse. Some of the signs that indicate your breakers are bad include the following:
- If your breakers trip too often
- If a circuit breaker won’t reset
- If a circuit breaker feels hot
- If your electrical panel is producing smoke or a burning smell
- If the wires inside your electrical panel are visibly frayed or melted
- If you can hear a sizzling or popping noise coming from your electrical panel
