How Can We Help?

Explore Your Circuit Breaker Options

While it may seem like one-size-fits-all when it comes to circuit breakers, that’s actually not the case. Your home’s power requirements dictate the type of circuit breaker that’s best suited for your needs. From standard breakers to more advanced options like ground fault and dual-function breakers, each type serves a unique purpose.

  • Standard Breakers: These are the most common type, designed to automatically shut off power when they detect an overload or short circuit. They provide essential protection for your home’s electrical system and are ideal for general use.
  • Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs): GFCIs are crucial for areas prone to moisture, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces. They protect against electrical shocks by shutting off power when they detect a ground fault.
  • Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs): AFCIs are designed to prevent electrical fires by detecting dangerous arc faults that standard breakers might miss.
  • Dual Function Breakers: These advanced circuit breakers provide enhanced protection by combining the functions of both AFCIs and GFCIs into a single device.

Common Circuit Breaker Questions

You have questions, and High Caliber Electric has all the answers. We know how nerve-wracking it can be to consider spending money on a new circuit breaker, but we’re here to ease your mind. Explore our frequently asked questions and get a hold of us today to schedule a service.

Circuit breakers are designed to trip and shut off power to a circuit when they detect an overload, a short circuit, or a ground fault. If your circuit breaker keeps tripping, you can follow these simple steps to troubleshoot the problem:

  • Start by identifying whether the issue occurs with specific appliances or at random times.
  • Unplug devices to see if the breaker remains on, as this might indicate an overloaded circuit.
  • Inspect for signs of damaged wiring or burning smells, which could mean there’s a short circuit or ground fault.

If the breaker continues to trip despite these checks, it might be due to a faulty breaker or issues within the electrical panel itself. Reset the breaker, but if it trips again immediately, it’s time to call High Caliber Electric. Our professionals will be able to diagnose and repair the problem quickly.

When it’s time to replace your circuit breaker, there will be tell-tale signs well before more serious issues arise. It’s important to know these warning signs and be on the lookout for them to make sure your electrical system is safe and reliable. A few to look for include a burning odor, physical damage, flickering lights, and unusual noises. Additionally, if your circuit breaker won’t stay in the “reset” position, it may be defective.
