The cost to replace a single circuit breaker typically runs between $150 and $400 installed, depending on the amperage, the brand of panel, and whether the panel is an older or obsolete model. Specialty breakers like AFCI, GFCI, or dual-function breakers usually fall on the higher end of that range.

What affects the price

  • Breaker type — standard, GFCI, AFCI, or dual-function
  • Panel brand and age (some obsolete brands are hard to source)
  • Whether existing wiring needs to be repaired at the lug
  • Permit fees if the work requires inspection

If multiple breakers are failing or your panel is more than 30 years old, a full electrical panel replacement is often more cost-effective than swapping breakers one by one. We provide upfront quotes for any circuit breaker service and offer financing options on larger electrical projects.
