Just curious about the circuit breaker box? I can easily make sure the light switches are off in the kitchen.
Do these circuit breakers of which they had a number of 20s in basket at Ace just plug into the board or do you have to take the whole door off and do wiring? Eaton Cutler-Hammer 20 amps Plug In Single Pole Circuit BreakerI will probably just call an electrician but am interested in why they would sell these out in a basket in Ace if a lot of work is involved? Lots of different kinds of screws holding the door on.
And I do not feel like electrocuting myself by taking the door off as it looks like it still will have power coming in from above even if the circuit board's main power switch is off?

Please make sure you get a reliable electrician, I worked 31 years in a steel mill as an electrician, supervisor and a Technical Advisor while going to collage to get a degree in Electrical Engineering. Theen worked as a project Electrical Engineer for a fiber manufacturer and a paper mill. When I moved here I had a neighbor ask me to check out his outlet for his Microwave. I did and found his receptacle had the common wire shorted out to the box. The wood around the box was charred. He replaced the receptacle and everything was fine. I also found a receptacle in my house with a loose wire and repaired it. Later while working at Publix an electrical contractor came in and I waited on him and asked him if they were hiring, and he told me the hire me to install the receptacles, switches and lights for a price. I did not want to get into a set up like that. Knowing that you may want the electrician to check out the wiring in your lights.
Plus make sure the breaker you bought is the same make and size as the circuit breaker you are replacing.
