Fuse to Breakers electrical panel upgrade

Reasons you should consider upgrading fuse box to a breaker panel.

Simplicity

If fuse is blown, it is difficult to determine visually the size of fuse has actually blown. With a breaker panel, in case a breaker trips it will appear as if it’s in the middle or off position so you can easily reset it. To reset the breaker, simply turn the breaker fully off and then on . If the breaker trips again immediately call a Licensed Electrical Contractor to have them take a look as it may need to be replaced or investigated further.

Cost Savings

When you have a fuse panel you will have to keep extra fuses on hand to replaces fuses that blow. With a breaker panel you do not need to keep back-up breakers on hand thus saving you money. If you have a fuse panel in your home, your insurance company may charge you a higher rate than if you had a breaker panel. This could make the initial cost involved in upgrading your fuse panel to a breaker panel well worth it as the long term money savings can certainly add up in your favor. If your fuse panel is in need of repair or a component needs replacing, this could cost a significant amount as many parts are hard to find and are thus expensive. This is not the case with most components of newer breaker panels as the breakers and other components are readily available. To find out the cost to upgrade the electrical panel call us today.

Safety

When you have a blown fuse, it is easy to accidentally replace the blown fuse with one with the incorrect amperage which can be hazardous. With a breaker panel there is usually no need to replace a tripped breaker, you simply reset it. o Fuse panels are often physically small, usually having between 16-20 openings. Because of their limited physical size, it’s not uncommon for them to have been overloaded through the years as additional circuits were added. Breaker panels are typically much larger than fuse panels, having up to 60 openings. This additional space for future breakers makes it easy to add circuits, thus preventing the panel from being easily overloaded.
