Breaker Relocation in Surge Protector Panel – Bonita Springs, FL

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: BREAKER RELOCATION IN SURGE PROTECTOR PANEL – BONITA SPRINGS, FL

We recently completed a focused electrical repair project at a residence in Bonita Springs, FL 34135. The job involved moving a breaker inside a surge protector panel to comply with code and eliminate risk from an overloaded section.

• Assessed surge protector panel for layout and load balance

• Relocated one 20A breaker to a new position within the same enclosure

• Verified all connections and torque to meet NEC requirements

• Ensured clean routing and labeling for easy identification

• Tested power restoration and breaker response after relocation

• Performed full safety check of the panel post-adjustment

The breaker is now safely repositioned, reducing risk of arcing, overheating, or nuisance trips. The surge protector panel is well-organized and safer to access. Power was restored with no disruption, and the homeowner now has peace of mind that their equipment is better protected.

Why would a breaker need to be moved?
Sometimes breaker positions lead to overcrowding, loose connections, or poor panel layout. Repositioning can improve safety and help prevent issues down the road.

Is this kind of repair dangerous?
When done by a licensed electrician, no. We always de-energize and verify before making adjustments, and follow NEC code for breaker placement and spacing.

Will this fix help with surge protection?
Yes—having a properly arranged panel reduces the chance of poor connections interfering with the performance of your surge protector or sensitive circuits.

How long did this job take?
We completed the work in about 1.5 hours, including testing and documentation.
