Faulty Circuit Breaker Replacement
A circuit breaker that repeatedly trips, won't reset, feels unusually warm, or shows visible signs of damage may need to be replaced.
However, a faulty breaker isn't always the cause of repeated electrical problems. Breakers can trip because of overloaded circuits, short circuits, damaged wiring, faulty appliances, or other electrical issues.
McKee’s Electric Company can inspect the affected circuit and determine whether the breaker needs to be replaced or whether another electrical problem needs to be addressed.
When a breaker replacement is necessary, we can install an appropriately rated replacement that is compatible with your electrical panel.
Signs you may need circuit breaker service include:
- Breakers that trip frequently
- A breaker that won't reset
- Breakers that feel hot
- Burning smells coming from the electrical panel
- Buzzing or unusual sounds from the panel
- Visible damage or discoloration
- Circuits that repeatedly lose power
- An electrical panel that is outdated or inadequate for your home's needs
