An electrical circuit is a closed loop that allows electric current to flow. It consists of components like a power source, wires, and a load (like a light bulb or appliance). When the circuit is complete, electricity flows, powering the device. If the circuit is broken (like by flipping a switch off), the flow stops. Understanding circuits is key to electrical work.

An electrical panel, also known as a breaker box or service panel, is the central hub of your home's electrical system. It distributes electricity from the utility company to all the circuits in your house. Each circuit is protected by a breaker or fuse, which shuts off power in case of an overload or short circuit, preventing damage and fires. Call us for an assessment.
