Domestic Fuseboard Replacements
Why Upgrade or Replace Your Fuseboard?
The fuseboard is the central hub of your electrical system, distributing power safely throughout your home. An outdated or faulty fuseboard can lead to frequent electrical issues and pose serious safety risks.
Signs Your Fuseboard Needs Replacing:
- Tripping circuits or blown fuses.
- No RCD (Residual Current Device) protection.
- Burn marks or a burning smell near the fuseboard.
- Old or rewireable fuses rather than modern circuit breakers.
- Expanding electrical needs, such as a new extension or electric vehicle charger.
Benefits of a Modern Consumer Unit:
- Enhanced Safety: Protects against electrical faults and shocks with RCD and MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) technology.
- Improved Performance: Handles higher electrical loads efficiently.
- Compliance: Meets current BS 7671 safety standards.
- Future-Proofing: Supports smart home systems, EV chargers, and other modern electrical demands.
