Leading Electrical Services in Memphis, TN

Your city's power lines direct electricity straight to your breaker box. This usually gray box can be found in your garage, on the side of your home, or in a utility room. Since it's one, direct current of power, it needs to be regulated and directed into different areas of your home accordingly; this is the service that your electricity panel provides.
