Fuses are reliable circuit protectors. All you need is a ground bus
installed and run a green ground to all the recepticals and install 3 prong
outlets and GFR's in the kitchen and bathroom. However an insurance moron
will not understand electricty or electronics and will not accept fuses,
therefore you will have to install new 100 amp boxes with circuit breakers
to Please the morons. They also like new 3-wire romex throughout the house.
How much do you want to spend and do you need insurance is the question.
I know the medical profession is dropping insurance companies because the
are becomeing ridiculoius on premiums. Soon the average citizen will realize
that insurance is a rip-off too and drop them!
