Circuit Breaker Repair & Replacement in Hickory, NC


A Breaker That Won’t Stay Reset Is Trying to Tell You Something

If a breaker keeps tripping or won’t turn back on, it’s time to call an electrician instead of resetting it again. We handle circuit breaker repair and replacement for homeowners in Hickory, NC and across the Catawba Valley.

 What Causes a Breaker to Keep Tripping

  • An overheating circuit
  • A loose connection
  • A worn-out breaker that’s failing internally

Repeated tripping, especially on the same circuit, is the warning sign. The cause could be the breaker, the equipment on the circuit, or a larger panel problem, so we diagnose before replacing anything.

Signs You Need a Replacement, Not Just a Reset

  • It trips at about the same time or under a predictable load
  • It won’t stay reset even with nothing plugged in
  • It feels warm or hot to the touch
  • You notice a faint burning smell near the panel

If Your Panel Is the Problem

Sometimes the breaker is only the symptom. An older or damaged panel may need to be replaced altogether. See our electrical panel installation page and what a panel upgrade costs in Hickory. For other problems like dead outlets or flickering lights, see electrical repair and wiring.
