Whenever I have my Halogens and Metabo on at night my Circuit breakers turn off.
So what do I change to swap out for whatever to work?

You first need to see how big the breaker is thats tripping. After a breaker trips a few times they become weak. If its a 15amp you may need to get a 30 to handle the load. Or use a diferent plug for the lights.

Is that a big operation to swap out the breaker? Whats the cost?
And we are just talking about that big box with all the switches right?

Its been forever that Ive had to swap a breaker so I dont remember what theyre worth. Im gonna take a stab at $15 for one. They simply just pop out and you clip the new one in. The breaker will be the switch that you physically flip off then back on after they trip.

Death can occur if your not careful ..i had a 15amp upgraded to a 20 amp but i had someone else do it ..its relatively easy.. as for me i don't like playing with electricity every since i seen my grandfather fried in the elcetric chair. .

Well I'm no expert becuase I'm just apaper pusher hahaha...but if you need change the breaker you don't necesary need to replace the box...not unless you running out of room on the box itself.

oh and breakers are not cheap..depending on size they could cost over $100...I think a 30Amp breaker costs about $30 to $50 but I could be wrong.

oh make sure you turn off the power...or main breaker just in case

30amp 110volt breaker wont be anywhere near $100. It will be under $30 for sure.
