Signs You Need a New Circuit Breaker:
If you’re noticing any of these warning signs, it’s time to call Bonfe for a circuit breaker upgrade.
If you’re experiencing frequent circuit breaker trips, your electrical system may be overloaded or outdated.
Why it matters: Constant tripping isn’t just annoying—it’s a sign your electrical system is struggling to handle your home’s power needs, which can lead to damage or even electrical fires.
Burning smells or warmth around your electrical panel is a serious safety risk that needs immediate attention.
Why it matters: Heat or burning smells near your breaker panel indicate overheating wires, which can cause electrical fires if left unchecked.
Buzzing sounds or flickering lights could indicate loose electrical connections or an overloaded circuit.
Why it matters: Buzzing or flickering can mean your circuit breakers aren’t functioning correctly, which puts your appliances, devices, and home at risk of power surges.
Twin Cities homes with old fuse boxes or electrical panels over 25 years old should be inspected by a licensed electrician.
Why it matters: Older electrical panels weren’t built to handle today’s high-energy appliances. Upgrading your panel ensures your home meets modern safety standards and prevents costly damage.
Upgrading your HVAC system, EV charger, or home office? Your electrical panel may need more capacity.
Why it matters: If your breaker panel can’t support new high-energy appliances, you risk frequent outages, overheating, or even electrical fires. Upgrading your electrical panel ensures safe, reliable power distribution.
If your breaker keeps tripping, makes buzzing sounds, feels warm, or is over 25 years old, it might be time for an upgrade. Older breakers and panels can’t always handle today’s energy demands, which can lead to safety risks and power issues. If you’re unsure, call Bonfe for an electrical safety inspection!
A tripping breaker is your system’s way of preventing overloads or electrical hazards. Common causes include too many devices on one circuit, outdated wiring, or a failing breaker. If resetting it doesn’t help, it’s best to have an electrician check it out.
The cost varies depending on the type of breaker, the condition of the panel, and the complexity of the installation. Bonfe provides upfront pricing and electrical financing options to fit your budget. Contact us for a personalized estimate.
We strongly recommend hiring a licensed electrician. Circuit breakers connect to high-voltage electricity, and improper installation can lead to fires, electrocution, or damage to your home’s wiring. Bonfe’s expert electricians ensure safe, code-compliant installations.
Fuse boxes use small fuses that burn out and need replacing, while circuit breakers trip and can be reset. Many older homes in the Twin Cities still have fuse boxes, which may not be equipped to handle modern electrical loads. Upgrading to a circuit breaker panel improves safety and reliability.
Upgrading your electrical panel starts with a professional inspection to assess your home’s power needs. Bonfe offers full-service electrical upgrades, from panel replacements to rewiring, ensuring your home meets current safety standards.
