How to Tell If You Need a New Circuit Breaker

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.
