Good Lord that’s expensive!
I’m glad I’m competent enough to replace my 200 amp service myself. I had an old Fed Pacific panel that I replaced with a Siemens panel.
I started at dawn and was snapping in the last circuit at dusk. There were lots of circuits in my house and I eliminated baseboard heat in the process.
I’m not an electrician but was complemented by an electrician on the quality job. I’m slightly OCD so all of my wires are perfectly aligned and secured and everything is labeled. :)
Need a job? I can’t get any apprentices to do that here (nice neat wire work and labelling heh.)
Like others have said, I would replace the whole thing.
One of the circuit breakers in my house is weak. It trips even when I plug the vacuum cleaner in it’s circuit, while none of the other breakers trip with the same vacuum in other rooms.
Can I replace the breaker myself, or should I get an electrician. I know enough to shut off main power off first. I am not clear on how to remove the individual circuit breaker from the panel. Any hints appreciated.
