Signs that You Need to Replace Your Circuit Breakers
As homeowners, we don't think about upgrading or replacing something until it starts to cause problems. So, you might not know to look into installing a circuit breaker until your current breakers trip too often. However, there are other times when a homeowner should consider adding a new circuit breaker.
You don't need to know how to install a new circuit breaker in a panel. Our team of licensed electricians can install a new circuit breaker for you in any of the following situations:
- Overloaded Outlets – If you don't have enough electrical outlets, installing a new circuit breaker can give you the capacity to add more outlets in your home or business. You also want to replace your circuit breaker if it trips more frequently than it should.
- Specialty Lighting – If you are putting in new lighting installation, like track lighting, canned lights, or wall sconce lighting, consider installing a circuit breaker to handle the increased load of electricity.
- Security Systems – A new security system can keep your home safe from intruders, but it also uses a lot of electricity. We can help you install a new circuit breaker to keep your security system powered at all times.
- New Appliances – You might need new outlets and new circuit breakers to install major appliances like refrigerators or freezers.
- Ceiling Fans – If you want a ceiling fan, you will likely need to install dedicated circuits so you can control the fan and the light individually.
- Additional Outdoor Outlets – Adding more outlets around the exterior of your home is no problem, but we may need to install a new breaker to prevent the new outlets from overloading your electrical system.
- Emergency Generators – An emergency generator can keep you and your family powered in a blackout. When installing a generator, you will also need circuit breaker installation services to connect the generator safely to the rest of your home. And a plan for ongoing generator maintenance.
- Home Entertainment Centers – From your video game system to the TV, your home entertainment system demands a lot of power, often from just one or two outlets. Upgrading your circuit breakers will give your system the capacity to handle anything.
- Energy-Efficient Upgrades – Solar panels, EV chargers, and other energy-efficient upgrades require circuit breakers designed to handle their specific electrical input or output.
- Garage or Workshop – If you want to add more outlets to your garage or workshop, a new circuit breaker allows you to keep all your tools and machinery powered at the same time. Or, just get an extra electrical panel to manage power to your tools and gear.
