Square D "homeline" vs. "QO"

QO is a bit better in quality........homeline is square d's attempt to compete with the ITE, seimans etc... type breakers.

I wouldnt consider homeline a square d...if you want square d buy the QO

Someone told me that Square-D should be ashamed to put their name on the "Homeline" line -- that they were cheap crap to compete on price with the other cheap and crappy brands.

Perce

QO is their better line and Homeline is their garden variety residential line, which is physically compatible with several other brands, like ite, siemens, murray, bryant, westinhouse, and ge

Theres a advantage with compatability/ If one maker goes belly up you can still buy breakers from someone else

Hey, I don't have a problem with em!!

According to RBM :

I do.

In a simple four breaker box supplying a cooktop, over the past 12 years, three of the four SD Homelines have fried so they won't reset.

In fact, as far as I can recall, they've fried on the first time they've had to trip.

Fuses are cheaper thank you very much.

I'm not sure that they're compatible with Canadian electricity

According to RBM :

Yeah, the electrons talk with a funny accent.
