Hey Jerry, thank you for the kind words!
Yes these are the old glass screw in fuses LOL. There were a few new ones in the basement, but only a few. I am not sure how easy they would be to find, it's interesting to think about now that you've mentioned it. I bet they are not hanging in plain sight in the local hardware store. They may need to be special ordered.
The good part of owning your home is you have some control over the issues with your panel. You could choose to fix it up or leave it as it is, upgrade it, etc. There are a few negative aspects I suppose, like having to be responsible for everything in your house working. As a person who rents I do not have the option to upgrade the electric, and am at the mercy of however long it takes for the rental company to fix things. Personally I would rather be 100% responsible for these things.
I'm pretty sure you could get replacements from Amazon, or some online supplier.
As you said, it isn't your responsibility, BUT if a fuse goes out, you will be in the dark unless you have replacements on hand.
If it were me, I wouldn't depend solely on the rental agency for that.
I certainly don't think they would pay you back if you bought some, just in case, but I also don't think they would cover your damaged equipment and/or loss of productivity by being without power for some period of time.
Good luck Jacob, just be sure you don't put any pennies under those fuses, or wrap them in tin foil.
That would be shocking
We see this exactly the same Jerry, it was a big of a debate in the house though. I think I should have some extra fuses but someone disagrees and sees it as a waste of money. I'm futuremind though... hahaha
Thanks Jerry 🤗
Well the good news is, they do not seem as hard to find nor as expensive as I'd suspected
