  • Your home's electrical system has a critical component called the circuit breaker, which is designed to protect your property from overloads and short circuits. It is basically an electrical switch that acts as a safety mechanism to automatically cut off electrical power when too much electrical current is detected. This interruption helps prevent electrical fires, appliance damage, and other potential hazards. Being able to successfully reset circuit breakers after tripping, either manually or automatically,  can really save your home It makes your circuit breaker both a protective measure and a convenient solution for managing your property's electrical flow.

  • Fuses and circuit breakers are often confused with one another. While these devices perform the same task, they do have notable differences.

    • Fuses have a lower initial cost and require no maintenance, but they must be replaced each time they do their job.
    • Circuit breakers have a higher initial cost and require maintenance, but they can be reset to perform their job repeatedly. Because a circuit breaker can perform its function many times, it costs less than a fuse does over time.

    Fortunately, your Mr. Electric professional knows the distinct nuances of these components and lets you know when they need to be replaced or repaired.

How do I Know if My Electrical System Needs a Circuit Breaker Replacement?

As technology advances, the electrical demands on modern homes and businesses continue to grow. New appliances and devices are becoming more powerful and sophisticated, often requiring more electricity to operate correctly. This increasing demand can significantly strain older or outdated electrical systems, particularly circuit breakers that were not designed to handle such loads.

Several signs indicate that your home or business might need a circuit breaker replacement. Frequent tripping of the circuit breaker is a common sign, indicating that it can't keep up with the current electrical demand. Other warning signs that your circuit breaker is no longer sufficient include a burning smell coming from the breaker box, visible damage or wear to the breaker itself, or not being able to reset the breaker once it has tripped. These signs suggest that your circuit breaker may no longer be providing enough protection for your electrical system.

Using a circuit breaker that is unsuitable for your property can be hazardous. If the circuit breaker is underrated for your property's power requirements, it may trip frequently, causing power outages and potentially damaging your electronic equipment. If the circuit breaker is overrated, it might not trip during an overload or short circuit. This can increase the risk of electrical fires, damage to appliances, and even electrocution.

If your property was built before 1965 and still has its original electrical panel, it is likely using a fuse box instead of a circuit breaker panel. It is recommended that you replace the electrical panel to ensure the safety, convenience, and proper functioning of your electrical system. Our service professionals can assist you with electrical panel replacement services.
