Frequently Asked Questions — Circuit Breaker Installation & Replacement
Circuit breaker problems can be stressful — and sometimes dangerous. If your breaker keeps tripping, feels hot, or won’t reset, these FAQs will help you understand what’s happening and when it’s time to call a licensed electrician. BANN Home Electrical & Heat Pump Services provides circuit breaker installation ME homeowners trust for safe, code-compliant repairs and replacements.
FAQ 1 — Why does my circuit breaker keep tripping?
A breaker trips when it detects an overload, short circuit, or ground fault. If it trips repeatedly, it usually means the circuit is drawing too much power or there’s a wiring issue that needs professional diagnosis.
FAQ 2 — Is it safe to keep resetting a breaker that trips?
No. Resetting a breaker repeatedly can create serious fire risk. A breaker that trips often is warning you of a dangerous condition—overload, damaged wiring, or a failing breaker.
FAQ 3 — How do I know if a breaker needs to be replaced?
Signs of a failing breaker include:
Breaker won’t stay reset
Burning smell near the panel
Breaker feels hot to the touch
Visible damage or corrosion
Flickering lights or power loss on the circuit
FAQ 4 — Can a breaker melt or burn inside the panel?
Yes. Melted breakers typically happen from poor connections, overheating, moisture damage, or overloaded circuits. If you ever smell melting plastic or see scorch marks, shut off power and call an electrician immediately.
FAQ 5 — Do I need a permit to replace a breaker in Maine?
In many cases, yes — especially if panel work is involved. We handle code-compliant replacement and can help guide permitting requirements based on your town and inspection needs.
FAQ 6 — What causes a breaker to feel hot?
A hot breaker often means:
Loose connections
Overloaded circuit
A failing breaker
Arcing inside the panel
This is an urgent safety issue that should be checked right away.
FAQ 7 — Can you install GFCI / AFCI breakers?
Yes. We install standard breakers as well as GFCI, AFCI, and dual-function breakers depending on what your home needs to meet modern safety code.
FAQ 8 — How long does breaker replacement take?
Most breaker replacements take 30–60 minutes, but if we find wiring issues or panel damage it may take longer. We always explain your options and pricing before proceeding.
FAQ 9 — Is breaker replacement expensive?
Breaker replacement cost varies depending on the breaker type and whether there are underlying electrical issues. We provide upfront pricing and recommend the safest option based on what we find in the panel.
FAQ 10 — Do you replace electrical panels too?
Yes. If your breaker problems are caused by an outdated or unsafe panel, we can recommend electrical panel upgrades and replacements to improve safety and prevent future failures.
