Do I need to upgrade my breaker box?

If your home still uses an old-fashioned panel with a fuses, it's probably time to upgrade to an electrical panel with circuit breakers. Circuit breakers need to be reset with a flip of the switch, as they burn out and need to be replaced.If your house still depends on an old fuse board, which is common in houses built before 1960, then you probably want to switch to an electric circuit breaker board. Burn out fuses and need to be replaced and circuit breakers just need to be restarted with a switch key.
