Customized Circuit Breaker Services

When it comes to electrical services, it is important that you clearly communicate your needs. Different types of circuit breakers have different functions, and your expert electrician can determine the best solution to meet the electrical demands of your household.

Consider the following types of circuit breakers:
  • Heavy duty circuit breakers: If you have heavy-use areas of your home, like the basement or kitchen, a heavy-duty circuit breaker can help prevent trips in those areas. These breakers have higher capacities and can handle more current for a given circuit.
  • Amp rated circuit breakers: Amp rated circuit breakers have a rating display, typically ranging from 15 to 100 amps. These breakers are used in wiring systems to ensure that the circuit can safely handle the amount of electricity that will be flowing through it.
  • Grounded circuit breakers: These breakers are specifically designed to protect against electrical fires and shock hazards. They have a third grounding terminal that protects against electrical overloads.
  • AFCI circuit breakers: These circuit breakers are used to prevent electrical fires caused by short circuits. They detect small currents that may cause a fire and rapidly cut power to the circuit to prevent a fire.
  • Trip rated circuit breakers: These breakers are used in commercial buildings and have a lever that needs to be manually reset after tripping. They are often used in spaces like attics and warehouses, where it can be difficult for an electrician to reach the circuit.
