Five Signs to Repair or Replace Your Circuit Breakers

As a property owner, it is crucial to be mindful of signs of issues with your circuit breakers. By being aware of them, you can take proactive measures to identify and address problems. 

Watch for these five signs: 

• Frequent Tripping: If your circuit breakers trip often, they could be overloaded or faulty. This is usually a sign that an upgrade or replacement would be beneficial.
• Burn Marks or Smells: Overheating and arcing can burn electrical panels, leaving marks and causing burning odors. 
• Breaker Age: Circuit breakers can last between 30 to 40 years. If yours are in this range or beyond it, they might not provide the effective protection your property needs.  
• Inconsistent Power Supply: Flickering lights, power shortages, and faulty outlets can all indicate an issue with your circuit breakers. When they are faulty, breakers can struggle to deliver consistent power.
• Loose or Damaged Connections: The connections between the circuit breakers and the electrical panel can become loose or damaged over time. This can reduce their performance and pose risks.
