Bad breaker repair in Avalon
We measure the load, check the connection at the bus and look for heat damage. If the breaker is at fault, we fit one that is listed for your panel, because a breaker that merely fits is not the same as one that is approved for it. We also add AFCI and GFCI breakers where the code now calls for them.
We also get calls from Avalon for AFCI breaker installation, breaker replacement and circuit breaker replacement. If you are not sure which one you need, describe the problem and we will tell you.

- Breakers matched to the panel's make and listing

Circuit breaker replacement in Avalon: common questions
Can I just fit a bigger breaker to stop the tripping?
No. The breaker protects the wire. A larger breaker on the same wire is a fire risk.
How long do breakers last?
Often 30 years or more, but heat, moisture and frequent tripping shorten that.
Are breakers still available for my old panel?
For most brands, yes. For a few discontinued panels, replacing the panel is the better answer.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Avalon?
New circuits, panel changes and service work generally need a permit from the local construction office. Simple like-for-like replacements usually do not. We tell you when your job needs one.
