Madison Electric converts properties using obsolete fuse-based protection to modern circuit breaker systems that offer superior safety and convenience. Our fuse box to breaker conversion service replaces old distribution equipment that relies on screw-in fuses with contemporary units featuring resettable protection devices. We upgrade the entire center while maintaining or improving circuit capacity and adding modern safety features that old fuse systems lack.
Your fuse-based system presents ongoing inconvenience and safety concerns that modern equipment eliminates. Our electricians remove the outdated unit, install a contemporary distribution center with appropriate capacity, and reconnect all circuits to new protection devices. We organize everything logically, provide clear labeling, and ensure the new installation meets all current electrical codes and safety standards.
If your fuses blow regularly when using normal appliances, your old service can’t handle modern electrical demand.
Fuse boxes often support very few circuits — upgrading lets you add more breakers for new outlets or devices safely.
Older fuse systems generally lack modern safety protections (like grounding or circuit breakers), posing higher risk.
Lights dimming, power fluctuations, or hot fuse holders signal the system is worn out and needs upgrading.
Today’s appliances draw more power than older wiring was designed for — breaker panels better manage higher loads.
If you need separate circuits for appliances (HVAC, washer, etc.), a breaker panel lets you allocate them safely without overloading.
Many insurance providers and building codes require modern breaker panels for coverage and safety compliance.
Upgrading from fuse box to breaker panel ensures safer, more stable power delivery and reduces fire or electrical hazard risks.
Converting to circuit breaker systems eliminates fuse replacement hassles and provides better protection for your entire electrical system.
Breakers offer resettable protection, improved safety, better capacity, and meet modern insurance requirements.
Yes, we reconnect existing circuits to the new distribution center with modern protection devices.
Most residential conversions require one full day including removal, installation, and reconnection work.
Conversions typically upgrade capacity since most fuse systems have limited amperage ratings.
Not always, though we evaluate your service entrance and recommend upgrades when beneficial.
