Not all homeowners are familiar with the complexity and necessity of an electrical panel. So we’re providing a little lesson to help you learn the ABCs of electrical panels.
What is the purpose of an electrical panel?
The electrical panel is essentially a metal electrical service box. Its purpose is to receive power into your home and then distribute that power to various electrical circuits within your home. It’s the safest way for all of your appliances to get the power they need without overloading your entire system.
