Circuit breaker replacement in Cedar Crest

Breakers wear out, especially ones that have tripped many times. We replace standard, GFCI, AFCI and dual-function breakers with the type listed for your panel. Mismatched breakers may fit but don't always grip the bus bar correctly, and that causes heat.

Dedicated circuit installation in Cedar Crest

Microwaves, refrigerators, freezers, window air conditioners, space heaters, treadmills, air compressors and welders all do better on their own circuit. A dedicated circuit installation runs a new line from the panel so the appliance stops competing with everything else on the circuit.

When a breaker keeps tripping

If the breaker keeps tripping in your Cedar Crest home, replacing it without testing can hide a real problem. We measure the load, check for shorts and ground faults and tell you whether the fix is a new breaker, a new circuit or a repair.

Signs of a bad breaker or an overloaded circuit

• The breaker trips with very little plugged in
• It won't stay reset, or the handle feels loose
• The breaker is hot to the touch or smells burnt
• One appliance trips the circuit every time it starts
• Lights dim whenever a certain appliance runs

Electrical work in Cedar Crest and Bernalillo County

Many homes around Cedar Crest were built for an evaporative (swamp) cooler and a gas range. Switching to refrigerated air, adding an EV charger or putting in an induction cooktop can push an older 100 amp service past what it was designed for, so we run a load calculation before adding any large circuit.

Electric service in Bernalillo County is typically provided by PNM, depending on your address.
