Your fuse or circuit breaker is the hub for all your home’s electrical systems – your lights, your outlets, etc. It disperses the electricity to everything in your home. Your breaker is an important part of the functionality of your home, and by having the proper breaker system installed, you’ll be protected from overloads and shortages. If you ask any team member from Mr. Electric of Fort Worth, they always recommend checking in our your system often so you can determine if something is wrong or not. We offer a wide variety of electrical services in Fort Worth, TX.
When it comes to breaker systems, there are two common types used in houses today – Fuse or circuit. Each one has different reasons for why they are used, and like everything, there are good and bad things about each.
The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.
Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!
Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!
Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!
Fuse Box
Fuses are little plugs that have a filament inside that will meltdown when it overheats. When the filament inside melts, you are no longer able to receive electricity from that fuse until you replace the old one. If you’ve ever heard the term ‘blown fuse’ this is what it refers to – you’re electrical temperature has reached its maximum capacity and the fuse is no longer able to be used.
When trying to determine if one of your electrical fuses needs to be replaced, you want to look through the clear tip of each fuse. If it’s still clear, you do not need to replace it right now. If the clear tip is cloudy, you need to replace that fuse as soon as you can. With this type of breaker system, it’s better to replace your fuses before they blow.
We provide reliable, professional electrical services backed by licensed electricians and upfront pricing. Our team is committed to safety, quality workmanship, and on-time service for every job. With trusted local expertise and customer-first care, we deliver solutions you can count on.
The good thing about a fuse box is that they were created to last a long time. While they were meant to last a long time, they aren’t as convenient and efficient as they once were. The problem with this type of breaker system is that they aren’t meant to disperse energy into a lot of things – if your family is all charging their phones and watching their TVs at the same time, you’re more likely to blow a fuse easily.
Circuit Breaker
Circuit breakers are electromagnetic on/off switches that control the electricity that runs through your home. When a single circuit pulls too much electricity, your system will overload and the entire thing will switch to ‘off’, or ‘trips’ your breaker system.
If you ask any of the local electricians at Mr. Electric of Fort Worth which type of breakoer they prefer, it would be a circuit breaker. Most fuse breakers are replaced with circuit breakers because they are much more efficient and convenient. Circuit breakers can handle a lot more electricity, meaning your ‘trip’ your breaker far less.
Which one is best for you?
We asked our team members here at Mr. Electric of Forth Worth what their thoughts were on the two different types of breaker systems, and they all agreed that circuit breakers are a lot better for your home.
While fuse breakers were the only type of system that was used years ago, Circuit breakers have become much more popular in recent years. They are much more efficient and convenient, and they can handle everyone using their electrical devices at one time!
