Circuit Breaker Replacement
Your home’s circuit breaker is critical to your entire electrical system. If it’s not working as it should be, it’s not only an inconvenience but a real danger to everyone in your home. Below are signs you need a professional to complete an emergency circuit breaker replacement:
- Circuit breaker trips constantly
- The circuit breaker is hot to the touch
- There’s a burning smell coming from the breaker panel
- You can see visible damage, such as burned metal or frayed wires
- You can hear buzzing, hissing, or popping noises from the breakers
Outlet Wiring
Although you may not realize it, your electrical outlets have a life span like other essential aspects of your home. Typically, they function optimally for about 10 years. If your outlets are older than that, you may start to notice signs that they need to be replaced, such as:
- They’re not feeding power to your device
- Visible burn marks or melted plastic
- The outlet is cracked or chipped
- Burning odor or outlet is over-heating
- The outlet is not grounded
- Burned-out Parking Lot Lights
Adequate parking lot lighting is important for safety. If your commercial property’s parking lot lights are burned out, Golden Electrical Service can get them replaced quickly and efficiently.
In addition to the services listed above, we also offer the following electrical services:

- Residential wiring
- Residential electrical code corrections

FAQs
Circuit breakers trip when the circuit is overloaded or when there is a short from the hot wire to neutral or ground. Shorts trip the breaker immediately, while it may take time for an overloaded circuit to trip. Remove one device at a time to reduce the load, and if the circuit still trips often, it may indicate more severe problems. Call the Golden Electrical Service team for in-depth troubleshooting and electrical repairs.
An overloaded circuit can allow the wires inside your wall to heat up and start a fire. Most household circuits are rated at 15 amps, and if you exceed that significantly, the circuit breaker should trip. To calculate the load on a circuit, add up the amperage for all the devices connected, and be aware that inductive loads like motors can draw anywhere from 2 to 10 times the current for a brief moment at startup. Avoid using extension cords or outlet strips, and if you need to, make sure they have rated appropriately for the devices connected to them. To prevent overloads, consider adding more circuits with help from our team at Golden Electrical Service.
If you love doing everything yourself, you might be tempted to handle your electrical work on your own. However, it’s not only dangerous, but it can even be illegal if you don’t have a permit. Shoddy electrical repairs can lead to fires, electrocution, and device failure, so it’s not worth the risk. Just give us a call!
Smart homes are taking the world by storm. They allow you to access your appliances and lighting from anywhere in the world. This saves you money on excessive electricity bills, so it’s worth the investment. Smart wiring is the industry’s standard installation. It gives you the foundation you need to build smart products in your home. An accredited smart wired installer is the only professional licensed to perform this work.
A safety check ensures that your property is safe after years of potential neglect. It should be performed every five years. If you’re unsure about any of your installations, an electrical inspection will ease your fears. You should also request one if you’re moving into a home that’s over 25 years old in Philadelphia. This process will test the safety of your circuits and identify overloading.
