Circuit Breakers
Circuit Breaker Repair
Your wiring and circuit breaker panel play a critical role in keeping your home’s electrical system safe. When there is a problem with the circuit breaker panel, you might experience problems with only one circuit or the appliances in a specific part of your home.
If this happens, you should not try to fix the problem yourself, as this could be dangerous and could increase your risk of electrical fire and burn injuries. Instead, you should contact Swartz Green Electric for professional circuit breaker repair to ensure your home is safe.
Why Do Circuit Breakers Trip?
Your home’s electrical panel contains the circuit breakers that protect your electrical system. Without circuit breakers to protect your home from a dangerous electrical overload, you would not be able to use your appliances or lights safely. Every household has a limited amount of electrical capacity, so the circuit breakers protect your home from exceeding that capacity and experiencing a potentially dangerous electrical overload
When your breaker panel is overloaded, the circuit breaker will trip to prevent damage to your home’s electrical system. However, after the circuit breaker trips, it must be reset before you can use the circuit again. If you experience frequent tripped circuit breakers, it is time to schedule an electrical inspection. You may need to repair or replace your old circuit breaker with a modern, energy-efficient circuit breaker to prevent future trips.
Features of Modern Circuit Breakers
If your circuit breakers are old and outdated, your home’s electrical system is likely no longer as safe or energy-efficient as it once was. Circuit breakers are one of the easiest ways to improve the energy efficiency of your home, and modern circuit breakers offer a range of features to improve safety and energy efficiency.
Some of the features of modern circuit breakers that can improve the safety and efficiency of your home’s electrical system include:
- Auto-reset function
- Higher amperage capacity
- Drip protection
- Tamper-resistant locks
