How Your Electrical System
Works
When your home was built, the electrical system
was designed for a certain level of electrical usage.
Over the years, the level of electrical usage
in a home tends to grow.
For example, unused space may have been converted
into an office with a computer, fax machine or
copy machine now drawing on the electrical system.
Or, perhaps a new laundry room has been added
with new electrical appliances. As we add such
things as outdoor lighting, spas or entertainment
centers, the electrical usage in the home can
begin to tax the limits of its electrical system,
causing fuses to "blow" or breakers
to "trip" and possibly creating a fire
hazard.
Your service panel is the ‘command center’
for all the electricity coming into your home.
If your electrical power is insufficient for
your needs, call Fairfax Electric Inc. for an
evaluation.
