Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace my breaker myself?
At Daven Electric Corp., we recommend hiring a licensed residential electrician to handle any breaker replacement. While it might seem simple, working inside an electrical panel can be dangerous without the right training and tools.
Here’s why you should leave it to a residential electrical contractor:
- Risk of electrical shock or fire
- Improper installation can void insurance or warranties
- Local code compliance is mandatory
- Diagnosing the real problem takes experience
In many cases, a breaker might not be the issue—it could be faulty wiring, a loose connection, or overloaded circuits. A certified residential electrician will check the full system and make sure everything is safe and up to code. If you’re in New York City and your breaker is acting up, give us a call. We’re here to help with expert troubleshooting and safe replacement every time.
How much does it cost to replace a breaker in a house?
The cost of a breaker replacement varies depending on several factors. As a trusted residential electrical contractor, here’s what we typically consider:
- Type of breaker – Standard breakers cost less than AFCI or GFCI types
- Amperage – Higher amperage breakers are more expensive
- Access – Older or crowded panels take longer to work on
- Service call minimums
Generally, the cost of replacing a single breaker can range between $150 and $350, depending on the situation. If more troubleshooting or multiple breakers are needed, that cost can rise.
Hiring a licensed residential electrician ensures everything is handled properly, with code-compliant parts and workmanship. We also back our work with warranties and are always upfront with pricing. For a precise quote, just give us a call—we’ll take care of the rest.
How often should house breakers be replaced?
Breakers don’t have a set expiration date, but they can wear out over time. Daven Electric Corp. usually recommends a full inspection every 10–15 years, especially if your panel hasn’t been looked at in a while.
Signs that a breaker may need replacing include:
- It trips frequently without a clear reason
- It’s warm or smells burnt
- It won’t reset or feels loose
- Buzzing or humming sounds from the panel
If you notice any of these, it’s best to call a residential electrician right away. A qualified residential electrical contractor can test the breaker, check for wiring issues, and recommend a simple circuit breaker replacement or a full panel upgrade.
It’s always better to be safe when it comes to your home’s electrical system. We’ll make sure everything’s running safely and efficiently.
How much does it cost to upgrade a residential electrical panel?
At Daven Electric Corp., we offer transparent pricing for electrical panel upgrades. Depending on your home’s size, power needs, and the complexity of the job, costs can range from $1,200 to $3,500 or more.
Here’s what affects the price:
- Panel size (100, 150, 200 amps, etc.)
- Home wiring upgrades (if needed)
- Breaker type and quantity
- Location of the panel
- Permit and inspection fees
We always recommend having a licensed residential electrical contractor assess your current panel. A proper upgrade isn’t just about adding more power—it’s about making sure everything meets the National Electrical Code (NEC) and works safely with your utility company’s setup.
When you work with a certified residential electrician, we handle everything from permits to coordination with inspectors and provide full warranties on labor and materials.
Can I upgrade my electrical panel without rewiring my house?
Yes, in many cases you can. At Daven Electric Corp., we often perform electrical panel upgrades without a full home wiring upgrade. However, it depends on the age and condition of your wiring.
Here’s when rewiring may not be needed:
- Your home’s wiring is modern and already grounded
- You’re not adding high-demand appliances
- No signs of overheating, corrosion, or damaged insulation
But in these cases, rewiring may be recommended:
- Your home is over 40 years old
- You still have cloth or aluminum wiring
- Outlets show burn marks, or you’ve had frequent power issues
Before doing anything, one of our licensed residential electricians will inspect your system and provide clear options. As a residential electrical contractors, we aim to keep you safe, code-compliant, and fully powered—without unnecessary costs. If an upgrade without rewiring is possible, we’ll make it happen.
