Importance Of Circuit Repair Services And Upgrades
Electrical demands for residential and commercial properties have increased in the last ten to fifteen years. From streaming services in every room of the house to larger business operations that require more equipment, the technology has come a long way. Circuit breakers are now tasked with greater demands and require more maintenance. Common reasons for circuit breaker malfunctions include the following:
- An overloaded circuit occurs from too much current running through a single circuit.
- A short circuit where wires become exposed or come into contact with each other in an electrical box.
- Power surges can happen at any time, putting more strain on your circuit.
- External sources such as water damage, animal infestation, or other extreme weather.
For any of these problems, contacting a licensed electrician as soon as possible is advisable. Our experts assess your circuit breaker and determine if panel replacement is needed.
Inspection Of Installed Circuit Breakers To Prevent Problems
One of the best things you can do to ensure the longevity of your circuit breaker is to have routine testing done on the unit. These vital tasks help keep your existing system in peak condition. We inspect all installed circuit breakers and ensure they are up to code and functioning properly.
- Verify the information on the nameplate to ensure accuracy.
- Test all circuit breakers to prevent overloads and shorts.
- Check the wiring on each breaker.
- Perform insulation visual inspection.
- Make sure the equipment is securely mounted.
Unit replacement becomes necessary if all signs point to a more extensive problem. Just like other components of your household like the water heater or HVAC system, circuit breakers will need to be replaced eventually. When that time comes, our team of electrical experts can remove it safely and install a new system.
