Hidden in a nook and cranny in your home, the electrical panel or breaker box is small but critical to the functioning of the home. If a problem arises in the panel, all electricity in the home could be affected. For instance, when one piece of equipment uses excessive power, the power could stop working due to an overload. When a breaker malfunctions, lights may flicker, an unusual odor may come from the panel, or the breaker might trip. All suggest a call to Milestone is in order and you should make the call right away.<\/p>\n

You may tend to panic when the lights flicker or the refrigerator no longer runs. You may worry about the cost of fixing the problem and wonder if you will be able to afford the expense. There is no need to panic until the problem has been determined and a solution identified. Even then, you may find that you have nothing to worry about, as the problem has a simple fix.<\/p>\n

Most homes have a breaker box, although some do still have fuse boxes today. The breaker box functions to ensure energy is used properly throughout the home. Each breaker inside the electrical panel comes with a switch that has a special function.<\/p>\n

You can turn the breaker on and off as needed, such as when a new appliance is being installed. Cutting the breaker off allows the installation team the opportunity to disconnect the old appliance and connect the new one without turning off all electricity to the home.<\/p>\n
