How Circuit Breaker Installation & Replacement Improves Electrical Safety in Antelope Neighborhoods

Electrical safety is something most homeowners don't think about until something goes wrong. In Antelope, where homes range from brand-new builds to decades-old residences, ensuring that your electrical system is up to date is critical. That’s why residents across the area turn to Hagan Electric, a trusted local expert, for professional circuit breaker installation & replacement services that enhance both safety and reliability.

At Hagan Electric, we know that a home’s electrical panel is more than just a box of switches, it’s the first line of defense against overloads, short circuits, and fire hazards. Our goal is to help homeowners throughout Antelope neighborhoods keep their homes safe and up to code, all while providing dependable service and peace of mind.

Why Circuit Breakers Matter for Home Safety

Circuit breakers are essential safety devices designed to cut off electrical flow when a fault is detected, such as an overload or short circuit. This prevents wiring from overheating, reduces fire risk, and protects your appliances from damage.

However, like anything else in your home, breakers can become outdated or wear down over time. Homes built 20 to 30 years ago may be using panels and breakers that no longer meet today’s electrical codes or simply can’t handle the power demands of modern appliances, EV chargers, and smart home technology.

A timely circuit breaker installation & replacement by a qualified electrician like Hagan Electric ensures that your home’s system can handle these loads safely and efficiently.

How Replacing Circuit Breakers Improves Safety

Here are a few ways a new or upgraded breaker panel directly impacts electrical safety:

1. Prevents Overheating and Fires

Old or malfunctioning breakers may fail to trip when they should, allowing wires to overheat and potentially cause electrical fires. New, properly rated breakers offer better protection.

2. Supports Modern Electrical Loads

Today’s households consume far more power than those of the past. Updated panels and breakers reduce the risk of overloads when running multiple high-wattage devices simultaneously.

3. Eliminates Hazardous Panels

Many homes still have outdated or recalled breaker panels (such as Zinsco or Federal Pacific Electric panels) known for failing under pressure. Replacing these is essential for safe operation.

4. Improves Code Compliance

Electrical codes evolve with safety in mind. New installations from Hagan Electric meet all current NEC and local Antelope code requirements, helping you pass inspections and avoid potential insurance issues.

5. Enhances Home Resale Value

Potential buyers are more confident in homes with updated electrical systems. A new panel not only improves safety, but it also boosts your property’s value and marketability.

circuit Breaker & Electrical Panel Possible Safety & Operating Concerns

Pushmatic & Bulldog circuit breakers apply a winter breaker look with no magnetic journey mechanism. Modern-day breakers integrate both magnetic and thermal tripping systems, boosting cleanliness and the chance which they will function properly in the function of a clog or brief circuit.

Operating difficulty: The look on the breaker is in ways that, eventually, they become really stiff along with difficult to use and reset.

State of breaker On Off unclear: Push Matic breakers have an indication flag indicating if the circuit is on or maybe off. More often than not, on older Push Matic breakers, this on/off flag will continue to be fixed inside both position, giving you a false indication around the problem of the circuit.

Watch out: the bodily flagging mechanism which shows the point out of the circuit breaker as "on", "Tripped", "off" doesn't work out inside of individual circuit breakers, making it hard for a construction occupant or perhaps proprietor to understand the state of the breaker - in the opinion of ours this's a significant likely shock hazard.

Question: Has any person been electrocuted by opening a Bulldog Pushmatic electric-powered panel?

I not long ago ordered a home having a Bulldog Pushmatic electric-powered board. I've read on other web sites that there's possible threat within opening the board since the "bussing" iis typically energized and also you could be electricuted.just of taking from the lid.How often has this particular been known to occur with this form of panel?

Answer:

It is indeed accurate which opening ANY electrical board that is acting strangely are usually dangerous; an electrician was murdered when he was removing a board cover (not only opening the door, and though I do not remember without a doubt I don't consider it absolutely was a Pushmatic) and bodily areas which were defective created an electric connection and sparked an arc blast. Plus I've rec'd various other reports of quite similar burns and injuries.

Certainly we have not got a lot of severe burns or fatalities, but as Aronstein has described, because just a very tiny percentage of electrical issues, most likely under 1 or maybe two %, are already reported through official stations eg. towards the CPSC or even to business associations, the number of reports more than likely stand for a larger number.

Similarly, flame inspectors could be untrained in ample level to correctly determine the real cause of an apparently-electrical-system-related flame or passing or accident, as are actually people within the healthcare career (see citation two below).

A related challenge together with the Pushmatic type is that you can switch a breaker for the "off" position but be uncertain that it's essentially turned raised a few inches off internally.

So even though it would normally be reasonable to express to the electrician to simply switch above the primary breaker right before focusing on the panel (or updating it) a less risky training course is to have the electrical business drop electricity outside - by taking the meter.

If your home has all of these 3 electrical coverings running the electrical systems of yours, seriously give some thought to stepping up to a new board such as Square D by Schneider Electric. Not only will you go to sleep far better from night knowing your brand new electrical control panel is preventing you safe, but you will have an opportunity of easily boosting the size of your home's electrical power structure with the help of newer circuits. I recommend you stumble upon pushmatic panels as well.

One last thought regarding the expense of upgrading your residence's power board. It is less costly to put in a whole new electronic control panel than to recuperate by using an electrical fire.

[todisturbtheuniverse]

just house things under the cut, because i’d like to shout into the void but understand if this is totally uninteresting to the vast majority of people--

we knew when we bought this house that there was a somewhat-serious hazard we’d need to address quickly: the electrical panel. hard to tell for sure with a house that was originally built in 1954 and has had a handyman owner making his own updates since then, but it’s probably the original panel from the 50s. only 60 amp service (laughably low for modern electrical needs), not a ton of circuits, manufactured by federal pacific electric. that last part was the hazard. it’s this kind of panel they made from the 50s-the 80s that is known to fail--meaning that it’s somewhat likely (i think the statistic i read was 25-30%) that if a circuit overloads, the breaker will not trip, which can cause fires. if you’re an anxious person and want to give yourself nightmares, do some googling about these stupid panels. if you go around trying to test if your particular breakers will trip, and they do, there’s some indication that this makes them less likely to trip in the future. hellpanel.

it seems like it worked fine for the last owners, but they also lived in the house from 1976-2020ish, and probably didn’t have all the gizmos we do. it’s the kind of thing that’s not a problem until it is, and i didn’t really want to have a house fire. so, we decided we’d be upgrading the panel as soon as possible. we had a few electricians out in september, not long after we closed, to take a poke around and give us estimates. this was when we found out that most of the outlets are not grounded, which is also not...great...so we decided to get the house rewired. not without a lot of agonizing first. it’s not cheap (especially in the area we live--i mean, california is generally expensive, but this place is beyond the pale), and it’s disruptive, but it’s a once-in-a-lifetime repair, it’ll add value to the house, and it’ll give us peace of mind. 

so here we are in december, which was the earliest our chosen electrician could do the job. given how much we’re working from home, we had to get an airbnb to stay at while they’re working, so that we would have power/internet access. it feels very silly to stay at an airbnb only a mile from our house, but it seemed like the only real solution.

it is not great. i do not love this part of homeownership. if we ever buy another house, we’ll be on the lookout for this issue; it’s not something we’d want to have to do again.

but, pros: they started on monday and already have the new panel installed, all the outlets in the living room done (VERY satisfying to see new white outlets replace those old yellowed ones), most of the work in the garage done, the outlets in the dining room started. that was just as of last night, when we went by to pick up our mail. the airbnb is comfortable, we have a kitchen, we’re both able to work.

cons: obviously, i wish we could have put this off until the pandemic was over--or even that we could’ve scheduled earlier, before cases started surging again. it just didn’t feel like a risk we could live with for, what, another 6-12 months (optimistically). we haven’t even fully unpacked because we knew they were going to have to open bits of the walls for the rewire; it would have sucked to live like that for another year. not to mention juggling all our devices to make sure we weren’t overloading anything. not running the dryer at the same time as any other heavy-duty appliance, etc. 

as we were moving our furniture out of the way last weekend and tarping it i was freaking the fuck out because we’d just been put under a new stay at home order. i worried the electrician wouldn’t be able to work, that we’d lose the money we spent on our airbnb, that we’d have to figure out where to stay whenever the job COULD get done. can’t stay with family or friends because pandemic! and my husband has to physically go in to work 2 days a week so it seems risky. of course, that all worked out, because apparently electrical work is essential (boy do i agree in this case), and like...we’re isolated in our airbnb, haven’t had any contact at all with our host, so i don’t think we’re contributing to the case surge.

basically, i thought that buying a house period was enormously stressful, and i don’t know that this has been more stressful, but it’s definitely been more annoying. 

i feel so unprepared for this kind of thing, no matter how much research i do. my family never owned houses when i was growing up. we always rented. this doesn’t mean we never worked on the properties we lived on--my dad is handy, he was always doing stuff that the landlord would put off and then get it taken off our rent--but i had zero experience trying to hire someone for something so MAJOR before this. in an ideal world we would’ve started with something smaller and less life- and property-threatening, like replacing the old toilet with a low-flow one or something, or just done the panel swap which is like a day job (setting aside the inspections by city and PG&E which apparently take forever).

but, it is what it is and it’ll be over soon. at least, that’s what i keep telling myself.

Electrical Upgrade Tips By Electricians in Santa Barbara

The majority of homeowners only think about the status of their electrical system and panel when something significant happens. A burning smell, discolored outlets, sparks, or a room that does not have light. Homeowners tend to fix and upgrade what they see first. In truth, a good wiring should last generations. However, there are other factors. First and foremost, the quality of the materials used and the skill and experience of the electrician who build the system. Second, the weather. Third, the way the electrical circuit has been used by the homeowner over the years.

Richard, an experienced electrician Santa Barbara helped us understand what homeowners should be aware of to further determine when to upgrade an electrical system. We compiled the most common reasons why homeowners upgrade their electrical systems in the next paragraphs.

Signs of corrosion or rust on the circuit breakers

Corrosion and rust should be fixed as soon as possible. If you see rust coming from the outlets it could mean that the wires are rusted too. The only way to find out it to have an electrician look at it and check it. If you need to replace some of the wires, you may as well upgrade.

Heat or sound coming from the outlets or electrical panel

Did you ever notice any cracking sounds coming from the electrical panel? Just thinking about it sounds like something to be afraid of. That is correct. The same goes for feeling warm coming out of any part of the electrical system. The wire material prevents it from overheating and feeling warm is a symptom of something bad. At this point, replacing or upgrading is not a luxury but a necessity. Don’t ignore this problem and call an electrician.

Planning a home renovation or new addition

If you are planning a big renovation here in Santa Barbara, you may need to remove drywall which will expose all the wiring. Moreover, if you are installing new drywall, you are surely not planning to remove it again for a long time. What if something happens to the wiring in the meantime? We recommend you have an electrician look at the wiring and see how good it is and if it is a good opportunity to have it upgraded. It could be an opportunity to add more outlets or run wiring for a new light fixture for example. Take advantage of the remodeling to do everything to make your home more functional.

Known problems from some electrical manufacturers

It happened several times that some electrical equipment that was used in the past turn out to be not so good, including safety concerns. Some were discontinued but of course if it was installed already it can still be found in so many houses. There are manufacturers who are known to have caused significant problems to the electrical system. Problems as dangerous as electrical fires. For example the electrical panels from Federal Pacific Electric (FPE), Zinsco, and Pushmatic. If you happen to have on the above panels we recommend that you hire an electrician to replace it with a safer panel before any problem occur.

Planning on adding new appliances which may use more electricity

If you are adding new appliances, or appliances that run much more electricity you may want to consider to upgrade. Homes built before 1990 only have 100 to 150-amp service. The above amount works fine for most families with the standard amount of appliances. However, as technology evolves, a lot of people purchase big appliances and systems which may consume more electricity. Especially if all is turned on at the same time. For example, a hot tub, a sauna, an air conditioning, a dryer, a home theaters, and a home EV charger station. For the current young generations living in old houses, upgrade electrical panel to 200 amps may be necessary to meet the standard amperage of new developments.

What are Federal Panels and What Should be done about them?

The term ‘Federal Panel’ is actually derived from the Federal Pacific Electric Company who were the dominant manufacturers of circuit breaker panels throughout the 1950s-60s. Their standard was tested to be the highest, and millions of their products were installed at homes, commercial spaces, and industrial facilities. However, things weren’t alright, as the predicament soon resulted in a significant rise in reports over the years. So, what was the problem? As years passed by, electricians and inspectors found that the failure was across the panels themselves degrade in their performance state over the years. Now, Federal Panels mostly refer to the standard that should not be attained in terms of long-running. These may work completely fine for years, but a single case of overload and short circuits could lead to all possible disadvantages coming to the forefront.

The Features that need to be attained for Electrical Control Panels

Frankly speaking, panels at large do more than just circuit breaking nowadays. Industrial-grade Electrical Control Panel speaks volumes of what complete control of electric supply actually should be- a constant yet variable flow of energy that drives almost every imaginable function there can possibly be. 

The difference in Measurement It’s safe to say that the electric power supply has got a lot of manifestations in terms of measurement. These mostly indicated some specific domain and aspect of function, which can test quality, amount, and all other forms of elemental qualities that are both consequential and important.

Programmable Current Transformer It’s a significantly essential part of properly managing the flow of electrical supply that there’s an effective transition from a particular CT state to another. Electrical Control Panel now can be programmed up to the level of currents they can manage, and through differentiation of CT across primary and secondary domains, all of it becomes quite essential and plausible. 

Greater Accuracy Accuracy is also one of the most important factors that can result in them not becoming ‘Federal’ under any sense of meaning. This was not present in the past, which significantly indicates what the entire predicament actually represents. Therefore, it’s notable that all possible factors that can define a particular Federal Panel need to be addressed and resolved through effective means, which is the case for development across the board. These shall make the entire use of electrical power and energy-efficient, safe and applicable across a wide range of systems.

ELECTRICAL TIPS FOR YOUR HOME. AVOID ELECTRICAL SAFETY HAZARDS

Age Matters! For electrical safety reasons, it’s good to know how old your home is, it is recommended you have an electrical safety inspection if your home is more than 20 years old. Older homes weren’t built to handle the electrical load our contemporary lives carry. Knowing whether your home’s electrical system has been updated to safely handle all the electrical current your family uses is imperative.

Know Your Electric Panel Even as recently as the 1990s, faulty electrical panels were being installed in many new homes. Certain brands, including Federal Pacific, ITE Pushmatic, Zinsco and GTE/Sylvania, are no longer manufactured and pose electrical hazards that could lead to a fire. Your electric panel should never feel hot to the touch.

Understand The Breakers These guys are your friends, even though you may find their interference irritating when they trip and shut off your lights. They’re trying to tell you something, and it’s usually that you have too many appliances or gadgets connected to the same circuit. Reconfigure your appliances, and if the breakers keep tripping, get help from an electrician.

Always Keep A Fire Extinguisher Handy The only safe way to extinguish an electrical fire is with a fire-retardant chemical fire extinguisher. Never use water; it conducts electricity. Keep fire extinguishers on each level of your home, and know how to use them and when to replace them.

Feel Your Outlets Place your hand on the outlet plates in your home. A warm or hot outlet point to trouble. A warm outlet could mean one of several dangerous situations is brewing: an electrical load on this circuit is too high, wiring is melting, wiring isn’t up to code or is loose. Also, note if the outlets don’t hold plugs, or if the outlet itself seems loose on the wall. Replace any two-pronged outlets with newer, grounded three-pronged outlets. Any outlet near water should be switched to code-correct GFCI outlets. Call an electrician to handle these requests.

Keep An Eye On The Lights Flickering lights could mean you need to repair or replace your electrical panel, or you have too many appliances plugged into one circuit. Don’t ignore this issue.

Ground Older Appliances Older appliances could have grounding issues that might put you at risk for a shock. Ensure all your appliances have three-pronged plugs that can properly connect to a grounded outlet. Any kitchen appliances with just two-pronged plugs should be replaced. If the outlets aren’t grounded, they should be replaced, and a new circuit should be installed. Electrical work is inherently dangerous. Professional electricians receive years of training and on-the-job experience before the state grants them a license. Use discretion when attempting your own electrical work. To make sure all the electrical systems in your home are safe, up to code and working as they should, hire a trusted electrician to handle the job.

Avoid Using Extension Cords For Long Periods Of Time. Extension cords are great for temporary jobs, but if you are using an extension cord as a permanent source of power you might want to think about calling an electrician and having an outlet installed.

If you have small children or are planning on having any kids soon, make sure that you have tamper-resistant receptacles. Children are incredibly curious in nature and part of that curiosity is seeing what happens when they stick something into an electrical outlet. TR receptacles are equipped with spring-loaded shutters that help protect your children from being electrocuted. Both springs must be pushed in for there to be any contact with electricity. The average cost of installing these is about 50 cents, which is a small price for electrical safety.

Above All Else! Cut off the power before any electrical work is going to be done! One of the basics of electrical safety is cutting off the power at the circuit-breaker box before working on anything electrical. This really is the only way to ensure that there is no power going to whatever it is you are working on. Trust me; the last thing you want is to hit a grounded wire when you think there is no power.

Electrical Safety is one of those things that every homeowner should follow. Unless you’re a confident, experienced DIYer, any electrical repairs should be left to an expert.

· Section boxes that maybe not allow the circuit breakers to trip when an clog or short-circuit occurs.

· Cells produced by Federal Pacific Electric Business that were created throughout 1950's up until 1980's. These systems have several style and manufacturing flaws. A written report by US Customer Product Protection Commission calls these section boxes "faulty ".

· Zinsco section boxes produced through the 70's permitted the current to movement also when the circuit breakers was tripped. Pushmatic breaker section boxes do not include a major circuit breaker and are hard to re-set and therefore, should be changed by a modern breaker section box.

Beginning during 1986 just ongoing through 2014 we'd gotten unexpected area accounts on merchandise failures of PushMatics, and more aged very similar Bulldog circuit breakers and also electrical sections, although not sufficient data to attain a sound realization regarding the dependability and also safety of this electric equipment. we had been powerless to locate independent research stories on this product.

In April 2011, preliminary results of yet partial testing of a broader variety of models of non commercial electrical circuit and coverings breakers, carried out by David Carrier, a power engineer, had begun to recommend several problems to journey among some Bulldog, ITE & Siemens ITE.

That checking remained incomplete. Interestingly, additionally to the expected higher failure to journey rates amongst FPE Stab-lok design and style breakers Carrier was watching an unforeseen excursion disaster rate among some Murray circuit breakers as well as certain Challenger circuit breakers, Crouse Hinds circuit breakers.

Bulldog or even Bulldog Pushmatic electrical sections employ an extraordinary, proprietary sort of circuit breaker termed as a "Pushmatic." Bulldog coverings with Pushmatic breakers indicate an older process that is no longer produced, creating replacement items hard or perhaps not cheap to uncover. At this time there seem to be two major complications with Pushmatic Breakers:

Bulldog circuit breakers apply a solely thermal breaker design (they haven't any internal magnetic trip mechanism [according to Mr. Bell]) - what what this means is to customers is that the circuit breaker doesn't have one of many mechanisms utilized by new tools to increase the probability that the breaker will trip OFF when it must to keep the building from a fire - it might possibly be therefore less inherently safe and sound and dependable compared to other models

Bulldog circuit breakers are "grease fed" - if the circuit breaker isn't not applied (exercised) plus serviced on a regular basis they become difficult and stiff to work or reset. (Mr. Greg doesn't determine that this suggests additionally they don't journey, but that's plausible question). Greg provides and we consent that simply no recognized study has been conducted documenting abnormally high failing to journey rates and views of electrical experts vary on the need to have to replace or upgrade thee panels.

If the home of yours or even soon enough to be household features a Pushmatic/Bulldog Panel and also you've questions about how to address the issue, do don't think twice to present a visit on federal pacific electric center, web page along with one of our expert electricians can talk about your worries with you as well as plan an appointment for a power analysis. Have peace of mind figuring out the homes of yours power set up is safe.
