This is a typical range, not a quote. The sections below explain what moves the price for this job. The dot marks the middle price, and a + means some businesses charge more.
What the job involves
A circuit breaker is the switch in your panel that cuts power to a circuit when something goes wrong. Replacing one means shutting off the main power, taking out the old breaker and installing a new one made for your panel.
Often a breaker that trips again and again is doing its job, because the circuit is overloaded or has a fault. The electrician may need to find the cause first, as in electrical troubleshooting.
This is not a panel replacement, which changes the whole box, or a dedicated circuit installation, which adds a new breaker along with new wire to a new spot.
What moves the price
- Finding the right breaker
- Breakers are made for particular panel designs, and an older or discontinued panel may need a hard-to-find breaker. Sometimes that is a reason to look at replacing the panel.
- Breaker type
- A breaker is usually replaced with the same kind, so swapping a double-pole, arc-fault or ground-fault breaker usually costs more than swapping a standard one.
- Heat damage at the connection
- A breaker that has overheated can scorch the wire end or the bar it clips onto. Repairing that is more than a swap.
- More than one breaker
- Some electricians price each breaker separately, and others lower the price per breaker when several are done in the same visit. Ask which applies.
Getting a quote
Questions to ask each electrician before you compare prices:
- Why do you think the breaker, and not the circuit, is the problem?
- Which type of breaker will go in, and is it made for my panel?
- Is the price for just this breaker, and what would more of them cost?
- If the connection looks burned, what would you repair and how would the price change?
- Will you test the circuit before you leave?
