Electrical Industry Articles and Stories

Back when we renovated the house, one of the top priorities was upgrading the electrical system. The house was built back in the 60s, and the electrical system was a mess, to say the least. Well, maybe not a total mess, but definitely outdated.

In their place, a new 200-amp service line and breaker panel.
