Your home circuit breaker helps distribute electricity throughout your home while reducing your risk of an electrical fire or accident. It was initially designed to handle only a set amount of electricity simultaneously. When more demand is pushed onto your breaker, it can lead to complications with your electrical circuits. This can lead to your wires overheating and the possibility of an electrical fire. Mr. Electric of Wichita offers unrivaled circuit installation and upgrades for Wichita, Andover, Douglass, and Wellington, KS residents.

Signs Your Due for a Circuit Breaker Update
When considering adding a new appliance or upgrading your home’s entertainment center, check your electrical system. Mr. Electric of Wichita can perform a full inspection to ensure your circuit breaker can handle the new power demands. There are also obvious and not-so-obvious signs that your circuit breaker is due for an upgrade. Take a look at some of the signs you should consider investing in our circuit breaker update service:
- Overloading Circuits – When your circuit breaker is tripping breakers constantly without you doing anything different, it may be time to look into getting new circuitry. Tripping circuits like this indicate either a short or an overload in your electrical system. It’s possible you may be trying to run too much electricity than your circuits can handle.
- Power Draw Issues – If you notice your lights dimming or flickering when you run the vacuum, it could mean that your circuits aren’t up to par anymore. This usually indicates that the upper limit has been met on your circuit’s capabilities and that it’s time to upgrade to a larger circuit.
- Warm Outlets and Breakers – It’s not unusual for a circuit with too much power to become warm. This heat can also extend to your outlets and breakers as well. If left alone, this can eventually lead to electrical fires and is a vital and clear sign that it’s time for a circuit breaker upgrade.
