Circuit breaker replacement in Hewitt: 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 Hewitt?

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.

Are you open nights and weekends in Hewitt?

Our phone is answered 24 hours a day, every day. Call (888) 633-7804.

What customers say

Our old 100 amp panel was full and warm. They upgraded us to 200 amps in one day, labeled every breaker and dealt with the utility and the inspection. Power was back before dinner.

James K., Toms River

An outlet in the kitchen was sparking. The electrician found a loose connection that fed three other outlets and redid all of them. Showed me the burnt one so I could see for myself.

Angela M., Hoboken

After the last storm we were done with extension cords. They sized the generator, handled the gas hookup and ran a full test. It has started by itself in every outage since.
