Breaker and Fuse Replacement

Does Your Household Have Breakers or Fuses?

If your home is properly wired, you will have a circuit breaker panel or a fuse box installed somewhere on your property. Circuit breaker panels are standard in homes built after 1960. If a circuit malfunctions anywhere in your electrical system, it may trip its associated breaker and shut it down. Usually, this action doesn’t damage the breaker. Once the source of the malfunction is addressed, you can turn it back to its on position. However, for various reasons, the breaker itself may also stop working as expected.

 

Homes in Los Angeles built before 1960 may have a fuse box instead of a circuit breaker panel. The individual fuses in a fuse box don’t have on and off positions. They remain active unless a problem in their associated circuit causes them to melt or break. To restore electrical function, you must always replace blown fuses after the source of the problem is corrected.

 

Signs That You Need a Breaker or Fuse Replacement

Circuit breakers are sturdy electrical components. Typically, they last for decades without any need to replace them. However, a breaker in your electrical panel may malfunction well before its normal operating life ends. You may also have old breakers that no longer provide reliable function. Common signs that you need to replace an old or malfunctioning breaker include:

 

  • Frequent tripping from its normal on position
  • Failure to stay on after you reset it
  • Obvious signs of breaker damage
  • An unexplained need for frequent light bulb changes
  • A burning smell in your electrical panel

 

There are also telltale signs that you need to replace a fuse. Indicators of a blown fuse include a switch, outlet, or light that suddenly stops functioning. Even if a fuse still works, you may notice a burning smell, burn marks, or other signs of discoloration around it. In addition, fuses may be too old to function reliably. What’s more, you may have the wrong kind of fuse installed for safe electrical function.
