If you aren’t a professional electrician, you may hear the terms “fuse box” and “circuit breaker” and think of essentially the same thing. Many people still use the term “blow a fuse” when a circuit breaker trips in their house, even though these are two extremely different things.
The difference between the two isn’t minor, however. If your home still has a fuse box rather than one of the modern electrical panels that use circuit breakers (i.e. a “breaker box”), it can have serious consequences for your house and your electrical supply. This is why we want to take time in this blog to discuss the difference between a fuse box and an electrical panel with circuit breakers. This will help you understand why a proper upgrade for electrical panels in Bradfordville is a vital professional service.
