What Do Circuit Breakers Actually Do?
Circuit breakers are designed to automatically shut off electrical power when there’s a problem—like too much current flowing through a wire or a dangerous electrical fault. Think of them as your home’s built-in safety switch that protects you from electrical fires, prevents appliance damage, and stops dangerous electrical shocks before they can occur.
From standard single-pole breakers to specialized AFCI and GFCI breakers, each type plays a crucial role in keeping different areas of your Denver home safe and protected.
