Breakers Vs. Fuses
All professionally wired U.S. households should be equipped with either a fuse box or a circuit breaker panel. Fuses, typically found in homes constructed before 1960, are the older technology. When an electrical circuit protected by a fuse shorts out or overloads, the fuse breaks or melts. By doing so, it stops the flow of electricity. Once it’s blown, a fuse must be replaced.
Any newer home in the Birmingham area is almost certainly equipped with a circuit breaker panel. When a breaker in that panel overloads, it’s not destroyed. Instead, it disrupts electrical flow by flipping from its ‘on’ position to its ‘off’ position. This kills the power to that area of your system, like a room or an outlet. Once the cause is resolved, you can locate your circuit breaker and flip the ‘off’ switch to the ‘on’ position, restoring power. Usually it’s clear where the issue was because there will be a single switch in the opposite position.
Reasons for Breaker and Fuse Replacement
But when do you replace the fuse box and circuit breaker panel if you can just flip a switch back to the ‘on’ position or replace a blown fuse? You might need a breaker and fuse replacement in Birmingham if:
- You have constant tripping of one or more circuit breakers
- Your light bulbs flicker instead of producing steady light
- Your breakers that won’t reset or stay in their own position
- You have underpowered household appliances
- There is charring or other obvious signs of breaker damage
- There is visible smoke or a burning smell coming from your fuse box or breaker panel
The age of your breaker panel or fuse box is also a possible factor. Any system that’s more than a quarter century old might need to be replaced to protect your household’s safety. That’s true even if that system is not malfunctioning.
