"Breaker box" and "breaker panel" are often used interchangeably, as they both refer to the same essential component of an electrical system. The breaker box describes the enclosure or box-like structure that houses the electrical circuit breakers. The breaker panel encompasses the entire assembly including the enclosure (box) and its internal components (breakers, bus bars, wiring, etc.). What these terms all have in common is that they are used in reference to the electrical distribution board in a home or building.

Is your existing panel a Federal Pacific, Sylvania, or Zinsco panel? Is your panel over 50 years old? Is your panel missing a main breaker to efficiently shut down power to the entire panel as specified by code? Is your panel located in a closet in a house you are planning to sell? Do you have any reason to suspect your house’s electrical system is not functioning properly?
