Circuit breaker replacement in Umbarger: common questions

Why does my breaker keep tripping in Umbarger?

The circuit is overloaded, there is a short or ground fault on it, or the breaker has worn out. In the Texas Panhandle, air conditioners that run for months put steady stress on breakers and connections. Testing identifies the cause.

Can I replace a circuit breaker myself?

We do not recommend it. Parts of the panel stay live even with the main breaker off, and a breaker that does not match the panel can overheat. This is a short job for an electrician.

How long do circuit breakers last?

Breakers can last decades, but heat, moisture, frequent tripping and loose connections shorten their life. A breaker that has tripped many times under fault conditions should be replaced.

What is the difference between AFCI and GFCI breakers?

A GFCI breaker protects people from shock by detecting current leaking to ground. An AFCI breaker helps prevent fires by detecting arcing in damaged wiring. Many circuits now use both forms of protection.
