​
How Circuit Breakers Work
Circuit breakers operate like light switches. Flip them on, and they ensure safety by stopping electrical flow in the event of overloading or short-circuiting. Each is designed to ‘trip’ or shut off a predetermined amperage load to protect against power fluctuations that can cause wiring or appliance damage, fire, or electric shock. Circuit breakers also optimize energy use, reducing cost by ensuring the smooth, reliable flow of electricity. They are designed to last 15-20 years, though some may last up to 40 before requiring replacement.
​
Common Signs of Circuit Breaker Issues
Older or improperly wired homes may experience circuit breaker problems resulting from loose connections, corrosion, wear and tear, or overloading. Signs you may need to add or replace a circuit breaker include:
​
Old circuit breakers
Worn breakers that frequently trip or short-circuit pose a safety hazard. Scheduling an electrical inspection for breakers over 10 years old ensures safety.
​
Frequent circuit breaker tripping
Frequent tripping may result from a worn breaker or overloaded electrical circuit, posing potential safety issues.
​
Flickering or dimming lights
Power fluctuations may indicate a faulty or overloaded breaker.
​
Circuit breaker won’t reset
Breakers that have short-circuited may not reset after being switched back to the ‘on’ position.
​
Burning smells or breaker feels hot to the touch
Hot or burning breakers are an emergency, requiring immediate replacement. Turning off your breaker until service is strongly recommended.
​
Discolored wires
Wires that appear discolored or burnt signal the need for immediate electrical panel attention. Again, turn off your breaker until an electrician arrives.
DIY circuit breaker installation or replacement is not recommended to prevent injury, fire, and other safety risks. Protect your home and family, ensuring residential electrical services are performed to current codes and regulations, with service from our licensed and insured home electricians.
