Electrical Panels and Circuit Breakers

Electrical Panels

You may have seen an  electrical panel in your home but did you ever wonder how it works? It is the main distribution point for residential electrical circuits. The power that the utility company sends to your home flows through a meter, an electrical disconnect, and then the main breaker in your electrical panel. The electrical panels are extremely important and are responsible for controlling the flow of electricity to your entire home. Electrical panels also serve as a guard against circuit overloads.

If you have an older home, it may be beneficial for you to upgrade your circuit panel in order to maximize its electrical capacity. It is very important to work with a trained professional. At Appleton Campbell, we can help you determine your load requirements and which type of breakers are best for you. Also, we can diagnose whether the problem is caused by the wires coming to your home from the utility or your breaker panel. Leave the tough stuff to us and we will do our best to maximize the electrical capacity of your home and fulfill all of your circuit panel needs.

Circuit Breakers

Along with improvements to your electrical panels, updating circuit breakers themselves can also help maximize your electrical efficiency. These breakers are designed for switching and protecting the wiring system in your home. High temperatures caused by excess current at a higher rating than the wire it is passing through can be extremely dangerous. Protect your home and your electrical system from any unnecessary mishaps by contacting our trained professionals at Appleton Campbell today. Various types of circuit breakers are used in different locations and serve different functions. We can help you select the appropriate circuit breakers in your home’s breaker panel to continue the safe, efficient operation of your electrical system.
