Understanding Breakers and Panels - The Lifelines of Your Building

Breakers and panels are crucial components of your building’s electrical system. A breaker box, often called a fuse box, is a metal box that houses circuit breakers. These breakers are safety devices designed to stop the flow of electricity in case of an overload or short circuit, protecting your home from electrical fires. 

An electrical panel, on the other hand, is a broader term. While it includes the breaker box, it also incorporates other key components like the main breaker and individual circuit breakers for different areas of your home. The electrical panel is the central point from where electricity is distributed throughout your building, making it a crucial aspect of your home’s infrastructure. 

Both breakers and panels play a significant role in safeguarding your property against potential electrical hazards and ensuring that power is efficiently distributed to where it is needed. 

However, when your breaker or panel isn’t functioning properly, you could experience several issues:

• Frequent power outages: A faulty breaker or panel could lead to sudden and unexplained power cuts in your property.
• Flickering lights: This could indicate that your electrical system is struggling to provide sufficient power, possibly due to a struggling breaker or panel.
• Electrical shocks: A malfunctioning breaker or panel could lead to dangerous electrical shocks when you touch appliances or outlets.
• Overheating outlets or switches: If your outlets or switches are hot to the touch, it might be a sign of a malfunctioning breaker or panel.
