What Are Circuit Breakers and How Do They Work?
Circuit breakers are a vital part of any modern electrical system. They protect your wiring and home from electrical fires, which can be caused by:
Short circuits: Irregular connections between currents that can lead to dangerous conditions.
Overcurrent's: Excessively large electrical currents that can also be hazardous.
When the circuit breaker detects irregularities, it cuts off the current, preventing fires and protecting your wiring and appliances.

Indicators you might need a new circuit breaker:
1. Scorching or Burning Smell: This serious issue requires you to shut off your home’s main power and immediately call an electrician.
2. Frequent Tripping: A constantly tripping breaker could be worn out. Don’t wait—call BEC Electric LLC for assistance today.
Fuse Box to Circuit Breaker Upgrades
Did you know electricians stopped installing fuse boxes in new homes after 1960? Even modified fuse boxes aren’t designed for today’s energy demands.
If your older home still has a fuse box, let us upgrade it. Our electricians can help you transition to a modern circuit breaker that meets your home’s energy needs.
