Circuit Breaker Repair & Installation in Central Ohio

Electric panels have many different names. Some refer to them as fuse panels or fuse boxes. Others call them circuit breakers, electrical panels, service panels, electrical boxes, breaker boxes, fuse panels, and electrical load centers. Regardless, nearly every building has an electrical panel. Although fuse boxes aren’t the same as circuit breakers, they serve the same function and work similarly.

Replacing or repairing old circuit breakers is vital to ensuring your home’s safety and reliability—especially if you have high data needs. Electrical issues are the third-leading cause of structure fires, and many of those problems stem from an overloaded circuit breaker.

4 Reasons to Replace Your Electrical Panel

Estimates
  1. The breaker keeps tripping
    If it seems like you have issues every time you have more than one application running and the power goes out in half of your home, it’s a problem. Although most people handle this problem by turning their circuit breakers off and back on again, this can get old. It is really only a short-term solution. If the problem keeps occurring, it can pose a serious safety issue that eventually causes a fire. Instead of using the old short-term solution over and over, call our experts. We specialize in replacing circuit breaker panel boxes and service panels.
  2. The Wrong Amp Wiring
    If you’re having problems with the circuit breaker panel in your home, you should take a look at the number of electrical amps going through your electrical wiring. This number is located at the top of the panel. Older dwellings are usually set up for about 60 amp wiring. Nevertheless, this is far too low an amp number for most modern appliances. Modern homes should have 200 amps of electrical wiring in order to function smoothly and operate properly and safely.
  3. Your Circuit Breaker Panel Is Old
    You should if you have not looked to see how old your circuit breaker is. If your home is an older home, your circuit breaker might be extremely old as well! If your home has undergone any electrical upgrades, even if these changes were made before you bought it, and your circuit breaker panel has it, chances are it’s time for a change.

     

  4. Your Electrical System Operates on Fuses
    If your system has a fuse panel, you should upgrade to a circuit breaker. Fuses are outdated because they aren’t as safe as the more modern alternative. In fact, many insurance companies penalize homeowners if their circuit breaker system is outdated. For your safety, we suggest replacing a circuit breaker panel. Because your system is outdated, we suggest calling an electrician to handle the panel change.

Is my electrical panel unsafe?

If your electrical panel is outdated, it’s probably not meeting your home’s needs. As we continue to add more and more electronics and appliances, we demand more from our panel, and older ones are not up to the task. So if your panel is 25 years old, or you’re noticing frequent shorts or dimming lights, it’s time for an upgrade.

What do I do if my electrical panel is hot?

If you can safely turn the power off, do so and give us a call immediately. On the other hand, you might need an upgrade or some maintenance. Either way, this is a job for professionals like MK Electric.

What is a "short circuit?'

A short circuit (often called a “short”) occurs when the wire carrying the electrical current (referred to as the “hot wire” and usually black) has contact with the grounded conductor (the “neutral,” generally white) or the equipment ground (the “bare copper,” typically green). When a short happens, it generates an overabundance of heat. If left unchecked, it can create sparks resulting in an electrical fire. If a short, your electrical panel will cut the power to the circuit – call us right away.
