Somewhere in each home, garage, laundry room, basement, or another inconspicuous area, there is a metal box that distributes power throughout the house.

This box is the electrical service panel, also called a circuit breaker box, fuse box, or load center.

The new push in electrical products means Smart appliances are gathering steam. Smart technology provides comfort, security, and convenience, making them well worth the little bit of privacy they may give up in return.
