Circuit Breaker Repair & Installation in SWFL

What is a Circuit Breaker?

You may have heard people say “It tripped the circuit breaker” in referring to power going out in part of their home or business as they head to the electrical panel to take a look.

A circuit breaker is an automated electrical switch that has been designed to protect your home and that particular electrical circuit from damage that can be caused from a sudden surge or overload.

Why do Power Surges Happen?

Although in Florida one of the most common causes of power surges is lightning during electrical storms, the truth is that surges can be caused by faulty appliances pulling too much power, power line surges outside of the home, tripped circuit breakers, or having too many appliances plugged into the outlets in your home above and beyond what your power system can handle.

Why are power surges a danger?

When too much electricity suddenly is pumped through a circuit in your home it can cause problems. It can easily overheat and fry your plugged-in appliances. This is true from your coffee pot or toaster all the way up to bigger more expensive appliances like refrigerators, hot tubs, televisions, and washer/dryers.

A power surge can be expensive at best and destructive at its worst.

Circuit Breakers are in place to prevent damage and save your home as well as your wallet. It is very important that the right size and type of circuit breaker is matched to the job it is expected to do. It is also important to make sure they are in good working order.  At Bergau Home & Commercial Services, we inspect and replace circuit breakers and are more than happy to look over your entire electrical system to make sure it is in sound working order powering your home while keeping you and your family safe.
