The standard electrical service for residential properties is typically 120/240 volt alternating current (VAC) with a 60 hertz (Hz) frequency. This is called the "120/240 VAC, 60 Hz" service. It is the standard voltage used in most homes across the Canada and many other countries.   In residential settings, the electrical service is distributed through a main electrical panel or breaker box. This panel receives power from the utility company's electrical meter and distributes it to various circuits throughout the house. Circuit breakers or fuses help prevent electrical overloads and short circuits by protecting the circuits. It's important to note that electrical standards may vary in different regions or countries, so it's always recommended to consult with a licensed electrician like Urban Piping for specific requirements in your area.
