Circuit Breakers

Frequently Asked Questions

A circuit breaker is a safety device in your electric breaker box that automatically shuts off power when it detects too much electrical current flowing through a circuit. It’s designed to prevent overheating, fire risks, and damage to your home’s wiring and devices. If a breaker keeps tripping, it could mean a faulty appliance, overloaded circuit, or the electrical breaker itself is failing.

To test a breaker, first turn off power at the main panel. Then flip the suspect breaker off and back on. If it trips immediately or won’t reset, you might have a short circuit, loose wiring, or a bad breaker. A multimeter can test voltage, but if you’re not comfortable working inside the panel, it’s best to call a licensed electrician. Done! can inspect, test, and replace electric circuit breakers safely and quickly.

Changing a circuit breaker involves shutting off the main power, removing the panel cover, disconnecting the old breaker, and installing a new one matched to the circuit’s load. Sounds simple—but working inside your electric breaker box carries serious shock and fire risks. That’s why homeowners in Aurora and Denver trust Done! to replace breakers safely, up to code, and with the right permits if needed.

Yes—electrical circuit breakers can wear out over time, especially in older homes or panels that experience frequent tripping. Signs of a failing breaker include hot or buzzing panels, burnt smells, or inconsistent power. Done! can evaluate whether a breaker is bad or if there’s a deeper wiring issue causing the problem—and we’ll handle the fix from start to finish.

Costs can vary depending on how many circuit breakers need replacing, the age and condition of your panel, and whether an upgrade is required. In many cases, replacing a single electrical breaker is straightforward and affordable. But if the panel itself is outdated, it may be safer to upgrade the whole system. Done! provides transparent pricing, and our electricians will walk you through all your options before any work begins.

Arc faults are unintended electrical arcs that produce high, intense heat, creating a fire hazard.
Arc Fault Circuit Interruptor (AFCI) Breakers are equipped to detect and protect your circuits and devices from these dangerous arc faults.

Why Circuit Breaker Inspections and Replacements Matter in Denver Homes

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.
