Q: What's the difference between a circuit breaker and a fuse?

Both circuit breakers and fuses are safety devices designed to protect your home from power surges and overloads. The key difference is that a fuse is a single-use device containing a metal wire that melts and breaks the circuit when there's an overload, requiring replacement. A circuit breaker , on the other hand, is a reusable switch that automatically trips to interrupt the flow of electricity and can be reset manually without needing to be replaced.

Let’s Talk Building: The Answers You Need

We offer a comprehensive range of electrical services for both residential and commercial properties. These include installations, such as new wiring, lighting fixtures, and outlets; repairs for issues like faulty circuits, flickering lights, or power outages; and maintenance to ensure your electrical system is safe and efficient, including inspections and panel upgrades.

It’s a good idea to get an electrical inspection if you’re buying or selling a home, or if your home is more than 40 years old. You should also consider an inspection if you’ve had a significant power outage, noticed frequent circuit breaker trips, or see signs of electrical issues like buzzing sounds from outlets or a burning smell. Regular inspections can prevent potential hazards and major repairs down the line.

Both circuit breakers and fuses are safety devices designed to protect your home from power surges and overloads. The key difference is that a fuse is a single-use device containing a metal wire that melts and breaks the circuit when there’s an overload, requiring replacement. A circuit breaker, on the other hand, is a reusable switch that automatically trips to interrupt the flow of electricity and can be reset manually without needing to be replaced.

For your safety, we strongly recommend that you don’t attempt to handle any electrical repairs yourself, even seemingly minor ones. Working with electricity can be extremely dangerous and can lead to electric shock, fires, or damage to your property. Always hire a licensed and insured electrician who has the proper training and tools to perform the job safely and correctly.

You can improve your home’s electrical efficiency by switching to LED lighting, which uses significantly less energy and lasts longer than traditional bulbs. Additionally, consider having a professional install a smart thermostat or smart outlets to better manage your energy use. Finally, getting an electrical inspection can help identify and fix any inefficiencies, such as outdated wiring or an overloaded electrical panel.
