Mutual Respect

Franklin D. Roosevelt said that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. He obviously never dealt with the IRS. We can include electricity as one thing we don’t have to fear, but we do need to respect it. You and your electrical system will get along just fine as long as you don’t demand more of it than it’s designed to provide. Most problems with electricity result from poor workmanship, code violations, and user abuse. Old systems were designed to power far fewer toys and gadgets than we have today. Trying to run three or four small kitchen appliances out of one receptacle, rather than running a new circuit, is just asking for trouble.
