Almost every building with electricity has a circuit breaker box, but what do these breakers do? At their most basic level, circuit breakers serve to protect a home and its inhabitants from loss of power or even fire and injury. Call your electrician near Annapolis to double-check that your breakers are up to code.
If you have too many items plugged into an outlet running at the same time, you might be pulling too much energy and cause an overload. This might only cause lighting in the house to shut off, but it could be worse. The circuit breaker protects your home from that overload causing possible fire or knocking out electricity to the entire house. Watch the video for more detailed information on circuit breakers, and look into your residential electric services to maintain them.
