Fuses and circuit breakers are similar in that they aim to protect electrical circuits from overloading, which can cause fires. Both fuses and circuit breakers stop the flow of electricity. It’s the way in which they handle the stopping of the electricity that sets them apart both functionally effectively. Fuses are made from metal and so when they are overheated they melt. They are quicker at stopping the flow of electricity but more commonly need repairs. Circuit breakers, on the other hand, have an internal switch that is slower to stop the flow of energy but far easier to fix, by simply switching back on, when overpowered.​

When not properly installed or attended, faulty lights and lighting fixtures throughout your home often pose problems and can become dangerous fire hazards. Many people love filling their homes with bright lights and lighting fixtures, however many do not insert the proper bulbs during installation. Some lighting fixtures cannot handle a certain bulb wattage which, in extreme cases, can lead to a fire. Before changing your light bulbs always check a fixture's maximum wattage and never install a bulb that is beyond that recommended amount.
