Marietta’s Electricity Loads Have Grown. Has Your Service Panel Grown?
The older fuse type electrical service panels of yesterday have been replaced by more reliable and safety oriented breaker boxes that can handle larger electrical loads without posing hazards or service interruptions to the user. Air conditioners are bigger. Water heaters are bigger, You have computers with multiple monitors, Ipods and flat screen televisions in your Maruetta home and the electrical service was not designed for these loads.
One of the tell tale signs that an older electrical panel needs upgraded is the use of screw-in type fuses. While a seemingly effective approach years ago when it came to protecting electrical systems, older fuses are not as reliable or safe as modern circuit breakers.
As electrical devices become more common place in our lives, the need for a better means of delivering the additional power where it needs to go has increased.
