Electrical Company Grand Junction CO | Call B and B Electric

Older homes in our area often have outdated wiring and components like fuse boxes that can't handle today's electrical loads, leading to short circuits and fire hazards. A professional inspection by B and B Electric identifies these specific risks, giving you a clear safety report and a prioritized plan for essential upgrades to protect your home and family.

Yes. While fuse boxes were standard in their time, they are now a known safety concern, especially in Grand Junction's older neighborhoods. They are more prone to overloading and don't offer the same protective trip mechanisms as modern circuit breaker panels. We strongly recommend an inspection and upgrade to a circuit breaker system for improved safety and the capacity to power your modern appliances reliably.

During our inspection, we meticulously check for the common culprits of short circuits in local homes: aged and brittle wiring insulation, overloaded circuits, faulty outlets, and improper connections—particularly in attics and crawl spaces where wiring may have been compromised over decades. We pinpoint these issues so they can be repaired correctly, preventing potential electrical fires and equipment damage.
