Circuit breaker replacement in Winston

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 Winston

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 Winston 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 Winston and Sierra County

With summer highs regularly above 100 degrees in the valleys, air conditioning is the biggest electrical load in most Winston homes. Converting from a swamp cooler to refrigerated air, or adding a second unit, a pool or an EV charger, often calls for a panel upgrade.
