Circuit breaker locking systems can be useful for securing the circuit breaker system in any area accessible to others, but does compromise safety matters. Circuit breaker locking systems can either be in on or off mode. While there are benefits to circuit breaker locking systems like their ability to potentially prevent electrical fires or other mishaps, in such an instance, until you can physically unlock the breaker, the power will remain off. Off hand, this might not seem to be such a big deal, but if there is someone in your household who needs medical equipment that requires constant power, this poses a serious threat. If you’re installing a circuit breaker locking system, call Academy Air Heating, Cooling, Plumbing and Electric to consult with an electrical expert on whether or not circuit breaker locking systems are appropriate for your home.

What Your St. Louis Neighbors Are Saying
Homeowners across St. Louis, Chesterfield, St. Charles, Ballwin, and beyond trust Academy Air for professional circuit breaker installation. Here’s what some of them have to say.
Tom Grace
a month agoI cannot recommend Demetrius Shaw and Academy highly enough. Demetrius came to provide our semi-annual HVAC maintenance. Demetrius was extremely professional, always wore shoe covers inside and took the time to identify issues outside the scope of his assigned tasks. Instead of just identifying them he took the time to explain them, the underlying issues, and to suggest corrective course of action. He provided transparent pricing before starting any work. Fast, honest, efficient and top notch service. Top marks across the board!
Katherine Lavely
2 months agoThe response time was good. They came out within 24 hours. The repair man was awesome. He told me step-by-step of what can occur and how much it would cost. So five stars thank you everyone and thank you for repairman
Samija Halilovic
2 months agoI unfortunately woke up on my birthday to a flooded lower level after our main sewer drain backed up. I called Academy Air Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric, and even on short notice they had someone out quickly for a very reasonable service call. I received an estimate at 10:42 and an update that our technician, Isaiah, was on his way by 12:08. Isaiah was professional, kind, and got right to work. He quickly diagnosed the issue, cleared the blockage, and thoroughly tested everything afterward by running water and flushing multiple times to make sure the problem was fully resolved. What really stood out was that he didn't just fix the issue and leave, he took the time to explain what caused the backup and gave my husband and me practical maintenance tips to help prevent it from happening again. We really appreciated how knowledgeable, patient, and helpful he was. No one wants to deal with a sewer backup, especially on their birthday, but Isaiah made a stressful situation so much easier. Excellent service from start to finish. Highly recommend!
Bradly Gould
2 months agoGreat experience! Had a loud unit that needed service, I called on a Sunday and they had someone out the next afternoon. John came out and was awesome. He did a detailed assessment and went over all options with their pros and cons. He truly was helping us decide the best option based on our situation and not pressuring us into buying more than we needed. I appreciated his professional opinion without high pressure sales, he was truly on our side. Highly recommend and will continue to use them for maintenance and repairs in the future. Stop looking, this is your company.
Jesse Trousdale
2 months agoGreat experience! Joe Vetter is my hero! It was an easy fix thankfully, but he was so kind and knowledgeable and went above & beyond to explain and educate me on the system & plumbing in my new home. I truly appreciate his help and expertise. Couldn’t have asked for a better technician. Will definitely be sticking with Joe & Academy for future plumbing & HVAC needs!
Larry Petcu
5 months agoClayton did a great job in installing the various components of by home backup system to include backup breaker, Interlock kit, power inlets, charging panel outlet and electrical system grounding. Anthony and David returned to complete the "future" task of the project a few weeks later to add another RV type outlet to the power station charging branch to permit turbo charging. They also added a "Return to Grid Power" sensor to complete the system. They also moved an outside GFCI outlet as I was having a deck extension added to the screen room. Similarly to Clayton's work, Anthony was meticulous, knowledgeable and extremely mindful of minimal disturbance to the home. Anthony also used this complex project to educate and train David, his apprentice, on tasks that he may not have otherwise had the opportunity to encounter. I commend their work and recommend them for similar projects.
Layla Getwell
8 months agoI had a great experience working with Anthony Dietz. He took the time to explain everything in detail, educated me on the issue, and walked me through all of my options without any pressure. I really appreciated how clearly Anthony broke things down so I could make an informed, confident decision about what was best for my situation. It’s refreshing to work with someone who is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely focused on helping rather than just selling a quick fix. I would absolutely recommend Anthony to anyone looking for an honest and professional electrician. Oh did I mention he was friendly? lol
Sir Fairley
8 months agoThis company is amazing!!! They came out and got the old units uninstalled and had the new ones in with a few hours. Extremely polite and professional. Walked us through how the new units worked and how to set them for optimal efficiency and performance. The two installation techs were a true blessing to me and my family. Thanks again Joe and Ryan for your time and help. And thank you Academy Air for your service.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Circuit Breaker Installation
A fusible switch is what was more commonly used before circuit breakers were around. Fusible switches can still often be found in older homes. Fusible switches contain a fuse that protects your home and appliances from being damaged in cases of electrical overload. If your home still utilizes a fusible switch and you are thinking of replacing it with circuit breakers, give a call to consult with an electrical expert who can assess your home, power needs, and offer a price quote.
How many additional circuit breakers you can add to your breaker box depends on a few things. Firstly, you will need to analyze how much physical space there is on your breaker box. If there is minimal space left, you can remove some of the metal punch-out panels to create more room on your breaker box. If there are no more of these spaces left, you have a full circuit breaker panel and additional circuit breakers cannot be installed. Alternatively, you can put in what is called a sub panel to accommodate the additional circuit breakers. Lastly, and most importantly, you must check your electrical panel to see how many breakers or other brands it is rated to handle. Do not exceed the maximum capacity of your breaker box even if you have the additional room to install more. If you are wanting to add additional circuit breakers to your breaker box, it is best to have a professional electrician from install them, as they have the skills and experience on how to do so.
Signs that it’s time to replace my circuit breakers include scorch marks on your breaker or on outlets, a burning odor permeating throughout your home or coming from the panel itself, if your breaker trips every time you turn on a particular appliance, and/or if you keep repeatedly needing to reset your breakers and they still will not remain on. If you are experiencing any of the aforementioned issues, it’s vital that you call a licensed electrician at Academy Air as soon as possible, as many of these issues are indications of much larger and potentially dangerous problems.
If your circuit breaker won’t reset, it is probably due to a short circuit. A short circuit can cause broken appliances, overheating, and/or create a fire hazard. If it seems like a short circuit is to blame for your circuit breaker tripping continuously, leave the breaker off. From there you will need to call in a licensed electrician from Academy Air to take it from there.
When installing a breaker, it is important to select the correct size for your particular application. To determine which size you need, you will need to know the amount of current that will be running through the circuit and voltage of the system. If you are uncertain about either of these values, consult an electrician or other qualified professional before selecting and installing a breaker.
