AFCI breaker installation in Montague

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.

Circuit breaker replacement in Montague: 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.

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

Half the house went dark on a Sunday night. They picked up on the second ring, told me which breaker to switch off and had someone here that evening. It was a burnt connection in the panel, fixed on the spot.

Maria D., Newark

Our insurer wanted the knob and tube gone. They traced what was still live, replaced it with hardly any wall damage and wrote the letter the insurance company asked for.
