Thirty-five years ago most new homes were fitted with a 60-amp electrical service connected to a screw-in fuse panel with two fuse blocks. The home's electrical needs were served by six 15-amp screw-in fuses.
Twenty-five years ago most new homes were fitted with a 100-amp electrical service, and some of them used the latest in technology, circuit breakers.
Today the average home is fitted with a 200-amp electrical service with a distribution panel handling up to forty 15-amp circuit breakers serving the electrical needs of the home.
If your current electrical service to your home is less than 200 amps, and/or if it has a distribution panel that uses screw-in fuses, you should replace it immediately. It's not only a fire hazard; it also can be damaging all of your electrical gadgets.
