Fuse board upgrades in Clifton

A fuse board, also referred to as a fuse box or consumer unit, is a device which transports electricity from the mains to the various circuits in your home. As well as distributing electricity within your home in Clifton, the fuse board protects electrical circuits from short circuiting or overloading, preventing electrical fires and electrical shocks.

If the fuse board at our property hasn't been upgraded in the last 20-25 years, we strongly urge you to consider upgrading. Older fuse boards lack a number of safety features and unfortunately cannot withstand the demands of modern day appliances used in homes.

There are some tell-tale signs which indicate your fuse box might be due for an upgrade. Get in touch with us immediately if you notice any of the following:

Overloaded outlets.
Physical damage to the outer box or case.
Humming or buzzing sound.
Electric shocks when turning appliances on.
Flickering or dimming lights.
Frequent blown fuses.
Burning smell.

Modern fuse boards or consumer units include safety features such as RCDs and MCBs. RCDs or residual current devices are sensitive to fluctuations in current, “tripping” to disconnect power, preventing electric shocks. MCBs or mini circuit breakers function by tripping a switch, stopping the flow of current when a fault is detected. This prevents any wiring from becoming damaged.

As well as added safety and protection at your property, the installation of a modern, compliant fuse board is a requirement many buyers are looking for when it comes to property sales. Potential buyers do want the added security of safe electrical distribution and safety features found in modern fuse boards or consumer units.

Fuse board upgrades are not for amateurs, we strongly recommend fuse board upgrades are carried out by a qualified electrician such as our team here at Definitive Electrical Solutions.

We typically need a day's work to safely remove the existing fuse board, install the modern consumer unit or fuse board and to run a series of tests. If all test results indicate a successful installation, an EIC certificate is provided upon completion.

The team are holders of NICEIC domestic installer and approved contractor status and also Part P Electrical Safety approved. You can rest assured that all fuse board upgrades at your home in Clifton adhere to UK building regulations.

To give you further peace of mind, it might be worth mentioning that as NICEIC approved elections, our electrical work is assessed by authority bodies to ensure installations, cabling, wiring and fuse board upgrades comply with safety standards.
