HOW TO REPAIR A CIRCUIT BREAKER

Technically, a circuit breaker can only be “repaired” by replacing the breaker itself. A failure to conduct this replacement carefully could lead to burns, shocks, or electrocution. The new breaker must be the same size and voltage as the old one. Also, the power for the home will need to be shut off while repairs are being made.

 

The steps an electrician takes to replace a circuit breaker include:

  • Shutting off the power at the main circuit switch
  • Loosening the terminal screw to free the breaker’s wires
  • Removing the breaker by pulling on the side so the clips pop out
  • Inserting the new breaker that is switched “Off” into place
  • Locking the breaker after its clips have latched to the panel’s metal bar
  • Tightening the terminal screws to hold the wires in position
  • Turning on the new breaker and testing its functionality

Square One Electrical is your top choice for circuit breaker services in Huntington Beach. Call (714) 274-3053 or send us a message online to get the problem fixed today!

 

WHAT IS A CIRCUIT BREAKER?

A circuit breaker is a component inside an electrical panel that shuts off the power to a specific circuit when the current exceeds safe levels. There are several circuit breakers inside one electrical panel, each serving a different circuit. The advantage of a circuit breaker over a fuse is that it can be reset when it trips. A fuse, on the other hand, must be replaced if it blows due to an overload. Without the protection of a circuit breaker, an electrical overload could cause a short or melt electrical wiring, appliances, and devices. Breakers that are not functioning correctly could also result in negative consequences ranging from expensive repairs to potentially deadly fires.

 

HOW TO TELL A CIRCUIT BREAKER IS BAD

Unfortunately, just like any other electrical component, circuit breakers can malfunction. The good news is if these issues are detected and addressed early on, the repairs shouldn’t be too costly. Fast resolutions will also ensure that a breaker is fully capable of doing its job to protect a home from electrical issues.

There are several warning signs of a bad circuit breaker, including:

The breaker won’t stay in “reset” mode, which could indicate short-circuiting

  • A burning smell is coming from the electrical panel
  • The circuit breaker feels hot to the touch
  • A breaker trips frequently when a specific appliance is used
  • Burn marks on the panel, outlets, or appliances

If any of these signs of a faulty circuit breaker are spotted, contact our electricians to get the problem resolved as quickly as possible.

Our Happy Customers

SquareOne is simply fantastic to work with. They were extremely responsive with their estimate and worked within my budget to get everything I wanted done. I got them to install a whole house surge suppressor, a dedicated 60AMP power box, re-routed a coax cable from the loft into the basement. These guys came on time as advertised and did a splendid job at the house

Jake Smith

SquareOne Electrical did a great job installing our EV charger and a light fixture. They even fixed an outlet that wasn't working. The front office was quick and efficient. The installers were all professional and friendly. I highly recommend them. They got the job done!

Graham Lopez

Miguel has been great to work with. They have helped to upgrade the electrical panels and old knob & tube wiring at several homes for my clients. I use them for inspections on commercial properties which often have complex wiring and electrical systems. I highly recommend this company and trust them to get the job done properly.

We had an issue with our breakers and no power on a Sunday morning. They were able to come out within a couple hours and worked very quickly to get the power back on so we could open our business.
Highly recommend them! We will continue to use them.
