FAQs
What are the signs of a faulty circuit breaker?
Frequent tripping is a common indicator, as the breaker may be overloaded or have a short circuit. Flickering lights, buzzing or crackling sounds, or a burning odor near the breaker panel can also suggest a problem. Hot spots on the breaker panel or sparking inside the panel are serious warning signs of a faulty breaker. Dimming or intermittent power in certain areas of your home can also point to a faulty circuit breaker. These signs warrant an inspection by a qualified electrician to avoid potential hazards or damage.
How does a circuit breaker work?
A circuit breaker is a crucial safety device in electrical systems that monitors the flow of current through a circuit. The circuit breaker trips when the current exceeds safe levels, such as during an overload or short circuit. This mechanism activates an internal switch, either through a thermal or magnetic mechanism, that breaks the electrical connection and stops the flow of electricity. By interrupting the current, the circuit breaker prevents any damage or potential hazards that could occur due to excessive electric current.
Can I replace a circuit breaker myself?
While it’s possible to replace a circuit breaker yourself, hiring a licensed electrician for safety and proper installation is recommended. Circuit breakers involve working with electrical systems, which can be dangerous if not handled correctly. Electricians have the expertise to ensure the replacement is done correctly, following electrical codes and safety guidelines. They can accurately assess the electrical load, determine the right size breaker, and ensure the connections are secure.

We had a problem with our generator. The light on the side was red, meaning the generator was not ready to turn on if needed. I made an appointment and Russell’s-American Mechanical was able to come out in about 1 week. The technician came out and diagnosed the problem right away and fixed it. He was super friendly and knowledgeable. I'm glad I called them and will do so again in the future!
Chuck Mehle
The technician was superb. He went over the system with a fine tooth comb, examined and tested every segment and subsystem, and even cleaned both the exterior enclosure and interior components. He briefed me on the generator and transfer switch status and provided a couple of recommendations on how to keep them in top notch working order. Friendly, professional and highly knowledgable, this technician did a superb job.
William Anderson
The young man that showed up from Russell’s-American Mechanical was very professional and kept me informed of the steps he was taking to eliminate my electrical problem before it escalated into a fire. He was quick and efficient and maintained a friendly attitude through the whole process.
