Electrical issues in your home can be confusing, especially when power suddenly cuts out. Many homeowners struggle to understand whether the problem is a blown fuse or a tripped breaker, which can impact both safety and the right solution. Mistaking one for the other may lead to repeated outages, appliance damage, or even potential fire hazards.

A blown fuse melts when overloaded, requiring replacement. A tripped breaker simply flips off and can be reset. Both protect circuits but operate differently.
Can I replace a fuse or reset a breaker myself?
Resetting a breaker is generally safe if you follow instructions. Fuses and complex repairs should be handled by licensed electricians.
How much does it cost to fix these issues?
Costs vary depending on the complexity of the repair or replacement. We provide transparent quotes before work begins.
How quickly can you respond to emergencies?

Do repairs come with a warranty?
