Most homeowners don’t think about their circuit breakers until something goes wrong—lights flicker, outlets stop working, or the same breaker keeps tripping for no clear reason. But in Aurora, Denver, and surrounding areas, aging infrastructure, electrical upgrades, and unpredictable weather can all take a toll on your home’s electrical system. And that includes one of the most important safety features in your home: the electric breaker box.
At Done Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, we inspect, test, and replace electrical circuit breakers to keep your home safe, efficient, and up to code. Whether you need a one-time fix or ongoing protection, we’ve got you covered—with 24/7 emergency service and priority perks through our Care Club maintenance program.
Why Homes in Our Area Need Circuit Breaker Attention
Aging panels, new devices, and Colorado conditions
Many homes in Aurora and Greater Denver were built decades ago—often with older breaker panels that weren’t designed to support the electrical demands of today’s lifestyle. Add in high-powered kitchen appliances, EV chargers, heated bathroom floors, or smart home systems, and your original electric circuit breakers may no longer be able to keep up.
Even newer panels can run into issues if installation wasn’t done properly, or if moisture from sudden temperature swings causes corrosion inside the breaker box. In homes with finished basements, added square footage, or remodeled kitchens, it’s not uncommon for a single circuit to be doing too much—and tripping is your system’s way of saying “help!”
What an Inspection or Test Can Reveal
Prevent problems before they cost you
Done! performs detailed circuit breaker testing and inspections designed to catch hidden problems before they turn into costly emergencies. Our licensed electricians check for:
- Loose or burned breaker terminals
- Incorrect amperage ratings
- Signs of arcing or scorching
- Outdated brands known for failure (like Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels)
- Breakers that no longer trip when overloaded
We also test how your breakers interact with your home’s load demand, helping you identify overloaded circuits before they cause outages—or worse, fires. Many homeowners think they just “use too much power,” but the truth is, their circuit breakers are either mismatched or failing silently.
When It’s Time for Replacement
Warning signs you shouldn’t ignore
Your electrical breaker should last years, but there are signs it’s time for a replacement:
- A circuit won’t reset
- A breaker trips with no apparent overload
- Buzzing sounds or burning smells
- Lights dimming when major appliances run
- You’ve added new high-demand devices or appliances
If any of these sound familiar, don’t wait. Our team can perform a circuit breaker replacement quickly and safely, matching the right amperage to your wiring and updating the panel if needed.
In some cases, a single breaker swap solves the issue. In others—especially if your electrical panel is over 25 years old—it might be safer and more cost-effective to upgrade the entire electric breaker box. We’ll walk you through the pros, cons, and pricing so you can make the best choice for your home and budget.
