CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Your circuit breakers are the unsung heroes of electrical safety in your home. But over time, they can become damaged, leading to issues like constant tripping, heating up, or even burning smells. When these symptoms arise, it’s crucial to take action to safeguard your family and property.

At Sky Electric Inc, we specialize in providing top-notch circuit breaker repair services in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino Counties. Our team of skilled electricians is dedicated to resolving any circuit breaker issues you may encounter, ensuring your home remains safe and powered up.

Recognizing Signs of Circuit Breaker Malfunction To identify if your circuit breaker is malfunctioning, keep an eye out for these common warning signs:

1. Frequent Tripping: If your circuit breaker trips off frequently, even when electrical load is within normal limits, it may indicate a malfunction.

2. Heating Up: Excessive heat around your circuit breaker is a red flag, indicating potential overloading or improper installation.

3. Burning Smells: A distinct burning odor coming from your breaker panel is a cause for concern and should be addressed immediately.

If you notice any of these symptoms or other irregularities, don’t hesitate to reach out to our Electrician Service Team. While some malfunctions can be repaired, in many cases, a circuit breaker replacement or even an upgrade of the entire electric panel may be necessary. Our experts are available 24/7 to provide the assistance you need.
