Many homes built during the 1960s and 1970s may contain aluminum wiring in the electrical system - a real and serious fire hazard. When current passes through aluminum wire, it expands and causes overheating at outlets and switches.
If you find yourself changing fuses often or resetting circuit breakers regularly, it is probably time to call an electrician. A licensed electrician can diagnose any issues with the wiring in your home and recommend proper repair.
Watts, a primary measure of electrical power, are equal to one joule, the measure of electrical energy per second. In other words, every second a 100W light bulb is turned on, it converts 100 joules of energy into light (and heat).
