However, you should not attempt to work on an electric circuit breaker except you have electrical experience. There are usually multiple breakers on a circuit breaker panel with each one serving a different circuit. Always contact a licensed Calgary electrician whenever you have any electrical issues either with your circuit breakers or other appliances. If you are unsure please do not attempt DIY electrical work in the name of safety.
