Loose or Damaged Breakers‏

Loose or Damaged Breakers‏

Other questions about circuit breaker boxes often asked are about loose or damaged breakers. One breaker that is obviously misaligned from the rest is probably loose. While we do not recommend touching components inside the panel, you should be able to touch the breaker handle safely. Homeowners have to do this to turn the circuit breaker on and off. Any breakers that are loose should be noted for replacement.

Breakers with damaged bodies or handles should be replaced. What do you do when you find a fuse blown or missing? What if you find a breaker trip or in the off position? Leave it!! There is usually a good reason it is off. You can electrocute somebody or start a fire if you turn the circuit back on.

Loose or damaged breakers should be reported as a priority item to be replaced and is considered a safety issue until replaced!!

HAPPY REHABBING!!!
