We used Hayes Lighting and Electric. Was a similar cost.

GFI breakers are much more sensitive than a regular circuit breaker inside your electrical panel. For a regular 15 amp circuit breaker to trip, the circuit needs to be overloaded by more than 15 amps of current. So, with this type of issue, it is easier to determine what is causing the breaker to trip. Usually, unplugging an appliance, like a heater, will solve the problem.
