If a fuse in your home keeps blowing it can be caused by several things. Most often it is because that circuit is being overloaded. There is simply too many things pulling power on that circuit. It can also be caused by a short in the wiring somewhere. Can also be an appliance is defective. Can also be someone has installed a fuse that is too small for the circuit. Whatever you do, do not install a larger fuse than the circuit calls for to prevent it from blowing. The fuse is there to protect the wiring from overheating and catching on fire.
