Circuit Breaker Repair & Replacement
How to Tell If You Need a New Circuit Breaker
Is your breaker constantly tripping or showing signs of wear? Hooser Bro’s Electric provides fast, expert circuit breaker repair and replacement in Huntsville, AL, to keep your home or business safe and fully powered.
Circuit breakers are your home’s first line of defense against electrical hazards like overloaded circuits and short circuits. When they trip, it’s a warning sign—not something to ignore.
A breaker may trip occasionally, which is normal. But if it trips often, feels hot to the touch, or shows visible damage like cracking or melting, it’s time to call a professional.
Signs You May Need Circuit Breaker Replacement:
- Breaker trips repeatedly for no obvious reason
- Cracked, melted, or scorched breaker switch
- Breaker won't reset or stay in the “on” position
- Electrical panel makes buzzing, hissing, or popping sounds
- Your breaker feels hot or smells like burning

Frequently Asked Questions About Breakers & Fuses
Can I replace a circuit breaker myself?
It’s strongly recommended that you don’t. Working with electrical panels can be dangerous without proper training. Always hire a licensed electrician for breaker repairs or replacements.
How long should a circuit breaker last?
On average, circuit breakers last 30–40 years. However, exposure to heat, surges, or mechanical damage can shorten their lifespan.
What’s the difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker?
Fuses melt to stop the electrical flow, requiring replacement. Circuit breakers trip and can be reset. Breakers are safer and more convenient in modern systems.
