Electrical Panels
If your house was built before 1960, you presumably have a fuse box. It’s time to replace, rather than repair, that fuse box with a circuit breaker panel if you still have one. Fuses (unlike breakers) need to be replaced when they blow, and they only allow for half the amperage of a standard fuse box. It saves time and money to replace, rather than repair, the old fuse box. It’s safe for appliances, and it usually comes with extra breaker slots for future expansion.
Circuit breakers may also require replacement. Heat, a burning odor, circuit breakers that are 20 years old or older, and recalled brands are all reasons for circuit breaker replacement. To avoid problems that could lead to house fires, Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) and Zinsco panels have been recalled and must be replaced. The circuit breaker may also fail due to flooding or water damage.
Every circuit breaker panel in your home should be maintained on a regular basis. Lake Electric in Surprise, AZ, provides maintenance packages to ensure that your electrical systems are in good working order. Breaker boxes that are well-maintained save money and provide years of safety for your family.
