Main Circuit Breaker Repair in Houma, LA

At MK Electric Man - Electrician, we understand how crucial a properly functioning electrical system is for your home.

Recently, a homeowner in Houma, Louisiana, contacted us after experiencing power issues in multiple rooms.

The lights in the bedrooms were not working, and receptacles in the living room had no power. This kind of issue often points to a faulty circuit breaker or a loose electrical connection.

Our team responded quickly to assess and resolve the issue, ensuring that the home's electrical system was safe and fully operational.

Diagnosing the Power Issue

Upon arrival, we conducted a step-by-step troubleshooting process to determine the root cause of the power outage.

1. Checking Voltage Inside the Electrical Panel

The first step in diagnosing an electrical failure is testing voltage levels. We opened the main electrical panel and used a multimeter to check voltage readings.

We found that while power was reaching the panel, it was not being distributed properly to the bedroom lights and living room outlets.

2. Analyzing the Main Circuit Breaker

Since the issue was affecting multiple rooms, we focused on the main circuit breaker. This component is responsible for distributing electricity throughout the home.

During our inspection, we discovered the following issues:

🔹 The circuit breaker was loose, preventing it from maintaining a stable connection.

🔹 The breaker was not making good contact with the electrical panel.

🔹 The circuit breaker support kit was broken, which contributed to the poor connection.

A loose or faulty main breaker can be dangerous. It can cause intermittent power loss, electrical arcing, overheating, and even fire hazards. To restore power safely, we needed to replace the main circuit breaker and support kit.

Repairing the Faulty Main Circuit Breaker

Once we identified the issue, we proceeded with the necessary repairs.

3. Installing a New 125 Amp Main Circuit Breaker and Support Kit

To restore proper electrical function, we removed the damaged breaker and installed a brand-new 125 amp main circuit breaker along with a new support kit.

The steps included:

✅ Shutting Off Power: Before performing any electrical work, we ensured the main power supply was completely turned off.

✅ Removing the Faulty Breaker: We carefully disconnected the loose and malfunctioning circuit breaker.

✅ Installing the New Breaker and Support Kit: We securely installed the new breaker and its support kit, ensuring proper contact with the panel.

✅ Testing the Connections: Once installed, we checked all connections to ensure the breaker was securely in place.

✅ Restoring Power & Final Testing: After turning the power back on, we tested voltage levels and confirmed that lights in the bedrooms and receptacles in the living room were fully functional.

Job Completion & Customer Satisfaction

After completing the repair, we conducted a final inspection and testing to ensure everything was operating correctly.

💡 Power was fully restored to all affected areas.

💡 The main breaker was securely in place, eliminating the risk of future power loss.
