Yikes! If your electrical service looks like this you should consider upgrading your service to breakers. Currently real estate contracts do not forbide selling homes with old fuses, but insurance companies will not issue an home owners policy with the old style fuses; bottom line--you can't sell with fuses. With today's electronics, microwaves and hair dryers, the old fuses just can not handle the electrical load. So if you have this in your basement and you are thinking about selling, it will be a good idea to contact your electrician and have them install a circuit breaker panel--minimum of 100 amps.
Taking care of this issue now will save you some greenbacks later when you have an offer on the table. What might cost you $500 now could literally cost you the deal later. So why wait? If you have fuses, currently in service, and are not thinking about selling why not change it out anyway. From a safety perspective it would be a great idea. Just a thought from HEY GLEN!
