Routine checking of the circuit breakers in your electrical panel can go a long way towards keeping your circuit breakers functioning properly.

Excessive tripping and resetting will take a toll on a circuit breaker.

Circuit breakers do go bad; we have found that older breakers like Zinsco, Federal Pacific and Pushmatic are notorious for going bad.  Another problem is that they do not trip when they should.

Berk’s Electrical and Lighting can check your circuit breakers and do preventative maintenance to avoid a fire starting in the panel or someone from being shocked due to the circuit breaker not doing its job.
We have also found that a circuit breaker rated 20amps has been installed to protect a circuit that should have a maximum 15amp circuit breaker as protection.  This can cause the existing wiring to overheat and start a fire.

Don’t take a chance; call Berk’s Electrical and Lighting to protect the electrical system in your home.
