Circuit Breakers

Cost depends mainly on the type of breaker involved, standard single-pole breakers cost less than AFCI or GFCI breakers, and on whether we're swapping a like-for-like breaker or adding a new circuit that needs extra wiring or panel space. Older or obsolete panel brands can also affect price since matching breakers may be harder to source.

Replacing a breaker means working inside an energized panel, and a mistake there can damage equipment or cause a shock hazard, so most homeowners are better off having an electrician handle it. It's also worth having a professional look at repeated tripping before replacing anything, since the breaker itself may be fine and the real problem could be overloaded circuits or a wiring fault elsewhere.

Repeated tripping usually means the circuit is overloaded, there's a short or ground fault, or the breaker itself is wearing out. We check the circuit and panel to find the actual cause before replacing anything.

GFCI breakers protect against ground faults, the kind of shock hazard that's common near water in kitchens, bathrooms and outdoors. AFCI breakers protect against arc faults, which can come from damaged or loose wiring. We'll tell you which type makes sense for each circuit in your home.

We serve Duncan, SC and homeowners throughout the Greenville-Spartanburg area.

We start by checking the breaker and panel to find the actual cause of the issue, whether that's a worn breaker, a wiring problem, or a panel that's maxed out. From there we explain what we found and what it takes to fix it before any work begins.
