The unsung hero of your home's electrical system, a circuit breaker is an automatic safety switch designed to protect your electrical circuits from damage caused by overcurrent or short circuits. Think of it as the vigilant bouncer for your electrical system. When too much electricity tries to flow through a circuit, the circuit breaker instantly "trips" or switches off, interrupting the flow of power.
This crucial action prevents wires from overheating, which could melt insulation, ignite surrounding materials, and lead to devastating electrical fires. Without functional circuit breakers, your home would be vulnerable to severe electrical damage and significant safety hazards.
Overload: Total wattage exceeds breaker capacity.
Short Circuit: A "hot" wire touches a "neutral" wire. Demands immediate professional attention.
Ground Fault: A hot wire touches a ground wire, dangerous in kitchens/bathrooms.
Faulty Appliance: A damaged appliance can draw excessive current.
When you try to reset a tripped breaker and it immediately flips back to the "off" position, it's a strong indication that there's still a significant electrical fault. Do not force a breaker that won't reset.
Any buzzing, humming, or crackling sounds originating from your service panel are red flags. Flickering lights can point to a failing circuit breaker or loose connections within your panel.
These are IMMEDIATE DANGER signs. A burning smell emanating from your electrical panel, outlets, or switches indicates extreme overheating. This is a precursors to an electrical fire. If you detect these signs, immediately cut power and contact PowerSpan Electrical at (833) 435-4447 without delay.

A: Frequent tripping is usually due to an overloaded circuit, a short circuit, or a ground fault. Less commonly, it could be a faulty breaker itself. A professional inspection is essential.
A: We strongly advise against attempting to replace a circuit breaker yourself. Working with live electricity is extremely dangerous and can lead to severe injury, electrocution, or fire.
A: Circuit breakers typically have a lifespan of 30-40 years, though environmental factors like heat and humidity can affect this.
A: A fuse melts and requires replacement after an overload. A circuit breaker is a switch that "trips" and can be reset after the fault is cleared, making it reusable.
A: This depends on the issue. If your panel is very old, lacks capacity, or experiences issues across multiple circuits, an upgrade is likely the safer solution.
