Circuit Breaker Replacement FAQs for Hobbs
Can I just swap in a bigger breaker?
No. The breaker protects the wire. Putting a larger breaker on the same wire lets the wire overheat before the breaker trips. If the circuit is overloaded, the fix is another circuit, not a bigger breaker.
How much does it cost to replace a breaker in Hobbs?
A standard breaker is an inexpensive repair. AFCI, GFCI, and main breakers cost more, and obsolete panels can make parts harder to source. We tell you the price before we start.
When should the whole panel be replaced instead?
If the bus bar is damaged, the panel is a known problem model, or several breakers are failing, replacing the panel is safer and often cheaper over time.
