Did you know?

There are two types of panels: fused or circuit breaker. While there are still fuse panels available, the breaker panel has been the standard since 2015. A panel in good condition is essential for the safety of your home or business and ensures the proper functioning of all your electrical appliances. An electrical system in poor condition can cause a fire or electrocution, which is why it is essential to have these installations checked.
