EDU – Electric Division University Double dipping is bad! Sometimes, people will attempt to add new outlets and switches in a home without adding a new circuit breaker. When this is done, it is a common, but unfortunate, practice for some to run new wire to the breaker box and then insert 2 wires into a single breaker fuse. This is not only dangerous, but it is also illegal. Almost all cities and municipalities have rules and regulations that prohibit this type of double dipping into a single fuse. This type of problem has led to many home fires and has also led to the denial of many home insurance claims when the adjuster found out about the problem.
