Replace All Breakers?
Just bought a house that is 40 years old . The inspector recommended having a licensed electrician come out and do a thorough walk through of the house . So I did . Electrician came out and went through my panel , tested breakers , switches , outlets. He wasn’t pushy at all and I didn’t get the used car salesman vibe/experience from him. He said the only thing he would recommend is changing all the breakers on the panel due to their age (40 years). He intentionally tried to trip several breakers and it took several times for the breakers to trip and kill the power. There is (20) 20 amp breakers , (3)40 amp double pole breakers, 2) 60 amp double pole, 2)50 amp double pole ,and 1) 30 amp double . $2500 . Although Im “handy” around the house and take on a lot of DIY projects electricity is something I leave to the professionals.I know NOTHING. Is this a fair price ?
