The breakers are under warranty- but if you are over the 1 yr warranty, there is a fee for the service call. I guess it would depend on the company you use. R&A is charging $75 for the service call to replace.

Interesting that Galaxy is not charging for the service call to do the replacement. I would think the replacements need to be done by the company that put them in. I will check with R & A to see if they have to be the company to do the replacement.
Thanks for the info.

1 year has nothing to do with the replacement.

I know of several companies that replaced at no cost.

Who is R&A

R&A Industries, Inc.- residential / commercial contractors., Electrical, air & heat, plumbing.
When I called warranty, they gave me R&A as the contractor that did the electrical work. They gave me their phone # & said to call them. R&A told me there is a $75 service fee.
I will call them in the morning & find out if I have to use them & question the servic fee.
It s worth a try.
Thanks!

Ditto here. 4 year old house. We are second owners. Warranty dept called Galaxy for us, they replaced all AFCI breakers. No service charge. No hassle and no complaints.

Love the villages.
