Breaker…Breaker 19.

Maybe you are a truck driver on the roads of The Great Southwest and you recognize that call immediately.  This breaker refers to any breaker box in your Belen area home that must be working properly.  We probably don’t need to remind you that adding a new circuit can be a daunting and even dangerous job!

Here are just some of the component parts of your home’s breaker box –

1.  The main lugs…they are always live even when the power is off.

2.  The main plugs…the black ones are always live as well.

3.  The main breaker…always switch it off before removing the panel cover.

4.  The breaker itself…usually a red or black hot wire.

5.  The breaker bus…(stay off the bus).  This distributes power to the individual breakers.

We won’t bore you with more details, except to say that the breaker box that distributes power to your home must be kept in tip-top condition.  For that, you should call on the services of Daylight Electric and Appliance serving the electrical needs of Belen and the greater Albuquerque area.  Just call (505) 864-3980.
