Are You Still Using Fuses? Here’s Why You Should Upgrade
Many older homes use fuse boxes to regulate electricity, and while they served their purpose well back then, today’s homes with power hungry appliances require more. If your home still has an old fuse box, consider an electrical service panel replacement to a breaker panel. Flipping a tripped breaker is easier than replacing a fuse, and a new electrical panel upgrade can give your home more power to make better use of your appliances, electronics, and gadgets.
