Residential Circuit Breaker Services

Think of your electrical panel as the heart of your home’s system, with circuit breakers acting like arteries, directing power and protecting your home. When a breaker senses too much current, it trips to stop the flow, preventing overheating, fires, and costly damage.

Brda Electric has been repairing circuit breakers for over 35 years, with expertise you can count on.

Comprehensive Circuit Breaker Inspection

Diagnose problems early with a professional inspection to evaluate your breakers’ health, safety, and capacity in one quick visit.

Inspections are especially recommended before renovations, home sales, or whenever breaker trips become frequent. We’ll guide you through the findings so you know which issues need immediate attention and which upgrades can wait.

  • Visual and thermal scans reveal overheated breakers and loose connections
  • Identify worn, overloaded, or incorrectly wired breakers for timely repair
