Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers are the front line of defense in your home’s electrical system. They automatically shut off power when a circuit becomes overloaded or shorted, protecting your home from fire, shock, and costly damage.

Why Circuit Breakers Matter

  • Safety – Prevent overheating, sparks, and electrical fires.

  • Convenience – Quickly restore power with a reset switch instead of replacing fuses.

  • Efficiency – Distribute electricity safely throughout your home.

  • Reliability – Modern breakers are built to handle today’s power demands.

When to Consider Replacing or Upgrading

  • Frequent breaker trips or flickering lights.

  • A panel that feels warm to the touch.

  • Outdated or undersized breakers unable to handle modern appliances.

  • Signs of corrosion, buzzing, or burning smells near the panel.

A licensed electrician can install, replace, or upgrade your circuit breakers to keep your home’s electrical system safe and up to code.
