However, a crucial electrical job, especially for older properties is replacing the fuse box, and here are some of the reasons that shouldn’t be ignored:
1. Lack of RCD Protection:
Many older fuse boxes lack Residual Current Device (RCD) protection, a critical safety feature that quickly cuts off power in the event of a fault. Upgrading ensures enhanced protection against electric shocks and fire hazards.
2. Plastic Enclosure:
Older fuse boxes often feature plastic enclosures that may become brittle or degrade over time. Upgrading to a modern metal enclosure enhances durability and provides better protection against environmental factors.
3. Lack of Surge Protection Device:
In today's digital age, our homes are filled with more and more sensitive electronic devices. Older fuse boxes may lack a surge-protection device, leaving your valuable equipment vulnerable to power surges. Upgrading safeguards your electronics from potential damage.
4. Holes in the Enclosure:
Inspect your fuse box for any openings or holes that may allow contact with live parts. Upgrading eliminates these risks, ensuring a safer living environment for you and your family.
5. Outdated RCD Protection:
If your current RCD protection is older (e.g., Type AC), consider upgrading to the latest standards (e.g., Type A). This upgrade accommodates our modern-day use of DC loads, providing more effective protection.
6. Wiring Issues:
As homes age, wiring may deteriorate or become outdated. Upgrading your fuse box presents an opportunity to address potential wiring issues, reducing the risk of electrical faults.
