Our team at Aspire Electric, Inc., has extensive experience in the electrical industry. We aspire to help you keep your home or business in good working order, and we offer a comprehensive range of services to do so. For example, if you are having problems with your circuits, then we encourage you to give us a call to have our team inspect your electrical panel. When circuits trip frequently, it often means a circuit breaker needs to be replaced. In this article, we will go over a few ways to tell if you need a circuit breaker replacement.
- Burning Smell – To begin with, if you start to smell an odor of burning coming from your electrical panel, you should give us a call right away. A burning smell coming from your wiring is never good, and in this case, it likely indicates that a circuit breaker is failing. Our team can provide the circuit breaker replacement services you need to restore your panel to good working order.
- Frequent Tripping – Another sign you need a circuit breaker replacement is your circuits tripping frequently. When your circuit and breaker are working properly, then the circuit breaker should trip only rarely, if ever. If a particular circuit starts to trip the breaker frequently, then you should get it checked out, as it is possible the breaker itself needs to be replaced.
- Insufficient Load – A third situation in which you might need a circuit breaker replacement is if your electrical capacity needs have increased, and your existing circuit breakers are no longer able to supply enough energy to power your various appliances and other devices. Our team can upgrade your electrical panel and wiring to ensure you have the power you need for all your appliances, lighting, and other electronics.
