The electrical panel is like the heart of your home’s electrical system. The electrical system in your home operates just like a human body. Like veins and arteries carry blood to organs and limbs, circuits and wires carry electricity throughout the home. Blood keeps our bodies alive; electricity keeps our homes running. The heart must be healthy in order for blood to travel around the body; the electrical panel of our home must operate properly for electricity to flow safely throughout the home. To enjoy the comforts of television, computers and refrigerators (to name a few), we must maintain a properly functioning electrical panel.
