The panel, also referred to as the breaker box, electric box, electric board, breaker board, service box, is the heart of your homes electrical system.
Your panel, depending on when your home was built, can be in a variety of different places. In newer homes its probably in your garage or outside, in older homes it may be in a closet or room. You should know where your panel is, and know how to operate it in case of an electrical emergency.
