Want To Remove Breaker And Eletrical Wiring

[BigK75]

Hey Guys:

I am moving in a couple of days and want to remove the breaker, wiring and GFCI box. If I flip the main breaker on the electric panel will I be able to removing everything I want safely. What do I use to replace the hole that will be left from removing the breaker? Sorry about all these questions but I don't want to get killed over a breaker and some cabling

Thanks,

Claude

Get an electrician to do it. No sense killing yourself or someone if you do it wrong by trying to save a couple bucks doing it yourself. Since, if you were familiar with electrical you wouldnt be asking.

If you kill the main breaker or not if you just pull out the breaker from the panel and just tape over the hole or otherwise cover it, there are blank little covers you can buy at Lowes or whereever that are textbook if you want to cover the hole.

If you know your way around inside a panel go for it and buy the blank cover to take its place. BUT like pathfinder says - you wouldn't be here if you didn't need help and an electrical panel is no place for a newbie. If you kill the main breaker you should be fine because the live connections should be in a separate part of the box so you would have to be pretty unlucky to contact something live. If it's a modern panel ie. Siemens or Cutler Hammer, the breakers pop right out.

You might want to get a friend to do it who's more experienced. Doesn't everyone 'know a guy' that could help out? I don't think you really need to go as far as to hire a Sparky to do it - it's easier to pull it apart than put it together - and remember to take a note as to how it was done so you can replicate it for your next tub!
