Circuit Breaker Safety




Circuit breakers or fuses are some of the most important safety devices in your home, preventing overloaded circuits that could overheat and cause a fire.

Fuse boxes are usually found in older homes built before circuit breaker technology was commonplace.  Circuit breakers and fuses are similar in function, though different in design.
