Is it common to have a fuse box and breaker box?
I guess none of really answered your question if it was common to have both breakers and fuses. I would not say it is common at this time but it is not uncommon for a house that was partially updated to have both. Years ago the code changed and we could no longer have rentals with fuses because of the fuse fire risk if oversized. A friend has quite a few rentals built in the 30's &amp; 40's we did go in and replace the fuse boxes with mostly 100 amp panels on the houses that had gas heat and 150 amp panels with electric heat. These were all or mostly 2 bed 1 bath 900 square foot homes so these panels were close to 2x the size of the original fused mains. Of the 12-15 houses we updated I think 9 or 10 had mixed breakers and fuses, many of his other houses had been fully updated so in this specific case of homes in this era it was approx a 30% chance of a mix.
