Thank you for taking the time to research that for me. Did you see that
breaker is $35. I doubt he has enough money to buy all new breakers,

are 20 or so in the panel. And a couple double breakers, too. That

pricey.

In Canada they are less than $10.00 each, and that is retail, for larger
purchases an electrical wholesaler would be cheaper. Why are they so
expensive in the US?

I have no idea. I noticed the price change about a year ago. My supply
house was charging a retail customer around $35 for a single pole 15 amp
breaker. I just assumed they were just hosing the guy until I needed a
double pole 30 amp.
