Homes less than 10 years old will have a modern type breaker box. As far as cost goes, that is a good thing if an upgrade becomes necessary. In this type of house, the breaker box will be a minimum of 100 amps, and probably have enough available open circuits to allow upgrading without needing an entirely new panel. This type of upgrade can usually be completed between $363 and $1004.
BL Type 240V Panelboard Breakers. Circuit breakers provide a manual means of energizing and de-energizing a circuit. In addition, circuit breakers provide automatic over current protection of a circuit. A circuit breaker allows a circuit to be reactivated quickly after a short circuit or overload is cleared. Unlike fuses, which must be replaced when they open, a simple flip of the breakerâs operating handle restores the circuit.
