Learning how to replace a breaker can save you from minor irritations, like flickering lights and circuit breaker trips every time you plug in the vacuum cleaner. However, a wonky circuit breaker can sometimes indicate a fire or electrical shock hazard.
To ensure your circuit breaker is replaced correctly, you should hire a licensed electrician to take over the task. Hiring a professional electrician will cost between $50 and $100 per hour, and replacing a circuit breaker takes around 30 minutes. Your final price depends on the type of breaker, its location, and the project's complexity.

Use a flathead screwdriver with a rubber handle to loosen the wire connecting the old circuit breaker to the panel. Safely tuck the exposed wire into the breaker box to avoid safety hazards. The time has come to install your new circuit breaker, but before you start, make sure the new circuit breaker is the exact same type as the old one.
