Project Spotlight: Electrical Breaker Repair & Smoke Detector Upgrade in Frankford, DE
October 23, 2025
When a homeowner in Frankford, Delaware noticed that a breaker in their upstairs bonus room was tripping almost daily, they called Expert Wire Electrical Service to find the root cause. Our licensed electricians, Matt and Dan, performed a full electrical safety evaluation to identify and correct the issue.
They found that the dual-function breaker protecting the bonus room circuit was failing intermittently. To ensure reliability and safety, our team replaced the breaker and inspected all accessible outlets and devices connected to the circuit. This step helped confirm that no hidden wiring issues were contributing to the tripping problem.
During the inspection, Matt and Dan also discovered that the home’s six original hardwired smoke detectors were expired—over 15 years old. They recommended and installed new interconnected smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (three smoke-only and three smoke/CO combo units) to bring the home back into compliance and provide full-coverage protection for the family.
Finally, they addressed a panel safety concern—several conductors entering the main electrical panel without proper connectors. The team cut in a small access opening above the panel, repositioned the wiring, and installed new connectors to meet code and eliminate a potential fire hazard.
The homeowner later shared how impressed they were with the technicians’ professionalism, attention to detail, and the way they left the workspace spotless.

Client Review
On October 8, 2025, Expert Wire sent Matt and Dan to the house to fix a problem with a circuit breaker that continuously tripped. They replaced the circuit breaker and double checked the wiring in all of the outlets in the affected area. While here, they asked about our smoke detectors and replaced all of them since the ones we had were 15 years old. Matt and Dan did an exceptional job. They were thorough and professional. They even cleaned up after themselves! (Something I have not experienced with other electricians we have had in the past.) I highly recommend Expert Wire. They are a bit pricey, but well worth it. Ask for Matt and Dan to fix your electrical issues.
