Routine Circuit Breaker Maintenance
A circuit breaker is made up of various electrical devices that work together to keep your wiring safe. A circuit breaker trips when there is a problem with the circuit. The problem is normally resolved by resetting the circuit breaker. Over the years, these devices become less and less reliable due to any number of reasons, and periodic maintenance can keep them at optimum performance levels.
If you have not been getting routine maintenance for your circuit breakers, look out for signs such as burn marks or wires that have melted through. If you see anything unusual, like a rusty breaker, it is time to call the professionals who know everything what you need to know about circuit breakers.

Are there any safety precautions to take with residential electrical wiring?
Yes, there are several safety precautions to take with residential electrical wiring. These include avoiding overloading circuits, using proper wattage for light bulbs, keeping flammable materials away from electrical panels, and using ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) in areas with water, such as kitchens and bathrooms. It is also important to have regular inspections and maintenance of the electrical system by a licensed electrician.
-
What is the process of rewiring a residential property?
The process of rewiring a residential property typically involves an assessment of the existing wiring, planning the new wiring layout, removing old wiring, and installing new wiring. It may also involve upgrading the electrical panel and ensuring compliance with electrical codes. It is best to consult with a licensed electrician to determine the specific requirements for your property.
-
What are the Signs of a Wiring Problem?
There are many problems that can be associated with old electrical wiring. In fact, electrical problems are one of the common causes of house fires. Rewiring is one step you can take to prevent these issues from taking place. However, it can be difficult to know what type of electrical occurrences are normal and which are signs that rewiring may be needed.
A few serious signs or causes of wiring problems include:
- Aluminum wiring becoming loose
- Vibrations when turning on appliances
- Circuit breakers frequently tripping
- Loose electrical outlets
- Burning smell from outlets
- Flickering lights when running an appliance
- 40+ years old wiring

Does Old Wiring Need to be Replaced?Potentially. Every situation is different, and the only way to know for sure is to have your wiring inspected by a licensed electrician. You can never be sure what's going on inside your walls - you could have wiring damage caused by pests, frayed or cracked wiring due to heat or corrosion, or wiring that is pinched or pierced by screws or nails. It's always better to be safe than sorry and have a safety inspection.
-
Is Old Wiring Dangerous?
As electrical systems age, they become more prone to serious problems such as overheating, short circuits, and electrical discharge (electrical arcs), all of which can put your home at an increased risk of an electrical fire. Furthermore, if your home is several decades old, you could be dealing with outdated knob and tube wiring that, while not inherently unsafe, should still be assessed by a professional. If the wire insulation has worn away over time, or if the installation practices of the time have left you with an unsafe situation, you should have your home rewired without delay.
-
How Often Should I Have My Home’s Electrical Wiring Inspected?
It's recommended to inspect your home's electrical wiring every 10 years to identify potential hazards and prevent electrical problems. However, inspections every 5 years may be necessary for older homes with outdated electrical systems. If you notice any signs of faulty wirings, such as flickering lights or burning smells, contact a licensed electrician for an inspection.

Different Types of Circuit Breakers
There are actually many different types of circuit breakers that do the same job; however, they operate differently from each other. Some circuit breakers have a delay time or need more current to trip than others in order to protect an appliance or circuit from damage. Our Apopka circuit breaker service techs can advise you on which kind would be best for your individual case.
There are many factors you want to consider when selecting a circuit breaker, including the age and condition of your building, the square footage and usage of your property, any special electrical needs, and any other factors that may influence the size and type of circuit breaker you should have.
There are three basic types of circuit breakers:
- Standard Trip: Frequently used for residential use. If the appliances are frequently turned on and off, then this will be a great breaker to have installed. Most people choose to go for this variant because they don’t have to worry about appliances turning off instantly. Though slow, it is very reliable.
- Instantaneous trip: This type of circuit breaker has short-term protection but trips immediately when there is a short circuit or fault on the connected circuit. It also has long-term protection. This is the best breaker to pick if you’re looking for quick disconnect times.
- Fixed trip: This type of circuit breaker trips when the electrical current exceeds a fixed value. If you’re looking for a breaker switch with a fixed setting, then this would be the best solution for you. The various speeds of which this breaker turns on and off are a great benefit as there is no “false tripping” when using these models.
Circuit Breaker Replacement
Over time, circuit breakers can wear out or become faulty, leading to frequent power outages or potential safety hazards. In Apopka, homeowners may notice signs such as breakers frequently tripping, feeling hot to the touch, or not resetting properly.

At All Electric Services, our team of skilled electricians can assess your current circuit breakers, identify any issues, and provide a professional replacement to restore safety and reliability to your electrical system. Whether you’re dealing with outdated breakers or experiencing ongoing electrical problems, we offer fast and reliable circuit breaker replacement services tailored to meet the needs of Apopka residents.
