What's inside an electrical junction box?

What is an electrical box?

They protect the wiring from damage and prevent electrical fires. These boxes ensure that connections are secure and accessible for maintenance.

What kind of electrical wire is used in homes?
Homes in Fresno typically use NM-B wire, often called Romex. This wire has two or more insulated conductors plus a ground wire, all inside a plastic sheath. The gauge of the wire depends on the electrical load it will carry. Using the correct wire gauge is vital for safety and preventing overheating. Pros ensure the right type is used for each job.

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's electrical system in Fresno. It distributes power from the utility company to different circuits in your house.
