How to tell QO from Homeline
Both lines are common in Utah Valley homes. The panel label inside the door tells you which you have.
- QO breakers are 3/4 inch wide and many have a VISI-TRIP red flag that shows a trip.
- Homeline breakers are 1 inch wide and are Square D's more budget-friendly line.
- The label lists the breaker types allowed. Only those belong in the panel.
