About this service
The breaker is the safety switch inside your panel that cuts power to a specific circuit if it gets overloaded or shorts out. If a breaker won't stay in the 'on' position, it is doing its job by protecting your home from fire. You need a pro to replace a faulty breaker or to investigate why it keeps tripping. Costs depend on the type of breaker and panel accessibility. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
