The Role of Fuses and Circuit Breakers

Fuses and circuit breakers are crucial components of your home’s electrical system. They protect your home from electrical overloads and short circuits.

How They Work

Fuses contain a metal wire that melts when too much current flows through it, breaking the circuit. Circuit breakers, on the other hand, automatically switch off when they detect an overload, allowing for easy reset.

When to Replace Them

Regularly check your fuses and circuit breakers. If you notice frequent outages or tripped breakers, it may be time to consult an electrician.
