'FUSES KEEP BLOWING?
LOOK TO YOUR WIRING!
Your electrical fuses are the
lifeguards of your home’s
wiring system. They protect
against dangerous “shorts”
and over-loading of wires.
So, when your fuses keep
blowing, or circuit breakers
keep tripping — watch out!
They’re telling you your wir
ing isn’t all it should be.
They’re suggesting you do
something about it!
