Maybe you’re one of the few.  You know, no computer or video games.  No fancy new appliances.  No major demands on your home electrical system.

If so, and you still have a fuse box in your home, do you really need to replace it or at least have it thoroughly inspected?  That’s a great big “YES!

You see, no matter how infrequently you may need to replace fuses, your fuse box is still getting up there in years.  And the older it gets, the greater the potential for loose, frayed, or cracked wiring.  Not only can that lead to problems with your power supply, there’s also the risk of an electrical fire to consider.  That’s certainly worth having investigated by a licensed electrician, just for the pure safety of it.

For home owners, who have already made the switch, asking them if they prefer their old fuse box over their current circuit breaker system is like asking if they’d rather have a horse and buggy or car in their garage.  It’s the ultimate no-brainer and here are 5 good reasons why:

1. Able to meet the electricity demands of today’s more energy efficient appliances and home comfort systems
2. No need to keep running to the hardware store to buy replacement fuses – if a breaker trips, you flip the switch and power is restored
3. Added safety
4. Immediately adds resale value to your house
5. In many cases, you can even get a reduced rate on your homeowners insurance by replacing your fuse box with a circuit breaker panel
