A circuit breaker and a fuse box both serve the same function: to protect electrical circuits from overloading. However, circuit breakers are more modern and can be reset after tripping, while fuses need to be replaced when they blow. Circuit breakers are generally safer and more convenient, making them the preferred option in modern homes.

Improving energy efficiency in your home’s electrical system can be done by upgrading to energy-efficient appliances, using LED lighting, and installing smart thermostats to control heating and cooling. Unplugging devices when not in use and installing programmable timers for lights and electronics can also reduce energy consumption.

Signs of faulty wiring include flickering or dimming lights, outlets that feel warm to the touch, frequent circuit breaker trips and a burning smell near outlets or switches. If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to have your electrical system inspected by a professional electrician to prevent potential fire hazards.
