Circuit Breaker Replacement for Inkster homes and businesses

Inkster is in Wayne County in Southeast Michigan, where a large share of the housing was built between the 1920s and the 1970s. That means plenty of 60 and 100 amp services, fuse boxes, ungrounded outlets and, in some neighborhoods, knob and tube or aluminum wiring. When we take on circuit breaker replacement in Inkster, the first step is often bringing those older systems up to date.

Why a breaker keeps tripping

There are three usual suspects. An overload means too much is plugged into one circuit. A short circuit or ground fault means damaged wiring or a failing appliance. And an old breaker can simply weaken and trip below its rating. The first is fixed by adding a circuit, the second by repairing the fault and the third by replacing the breaker. Our electricians in Inkster test before they swap, because a new breaker on a faulted circuit solves nothing.
