How much does it cost to replace a circuit breaker in Toledo?

Single circuit-breaker replacement in Toledo runs $145–$295 — the breaker itself is $15–$80, the rest is service-call labor. AFCI/GFCI breakers cost more parts. Always replace with the brand the panel was made for.

What affects the price

  • Breaker type
    Standard 15A/20A: $15–$25. AFCI: $40–$60. GFCI: $50–$80. Dual-function (AFCI+GFCI): $60–$100.
  • Brand match
    Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels: replacement breakers difficult to source — usually whole-panel-upgrade territory.
  • Multiple breakers
    First: $145–$245. Each add'l on same call: $50–$80.

What's included

  • Power off + lockout-tagout
  • Pull old breaker + install new
  • Test load + voltage drop
  • Verify panel labeling correct

When to call

When a single breaker trips constantly even after eliminating the load issue, when it won't reset, or when it makes audible buzzing. Multiple breakers tripping = panel-level issue, not a one-breaker fix.

Related questions

Why do AFCI breakers nuisance-trip?

Older appliance motors, fluorescent ballasts, and shared neutrals confuse early AFCI breakers. Newer dual-function breakers handle this better. If you're replacing one anyway, upgrade.
