Fuse box upgrades in Hyson Green

The properties located in Hyson Green vary from one bedroom flats to semi detached houses.

There are a number of new build hot spots and housing for university students is always in high demand.

Fuse box upgrades are not for amateurs, we strongly recommend fuse box upgrades are carried out by a qualified electrician.

As with some of the buildings in Hyson Green, your home may need a fuse box replacement. If you haven’t upgraded the fuse box for over 15-20 years, you may be putting your home at risk.

Some older fuse boxes may still contain the thin piece of metal or filament which would melt if there was a sudden surge in current, this would act as a safety feature, preventing you from getting an electric shock. Changing the fuse once it has blown is both time consuming and dangerous.

Modern fuse boxes or consumer units contain advanced safety features such as RCDs and MCBs. RCDs or residual current devices are sensitive to changes in current, they “trip” 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. No need to change any more fuses!

Modern fuse boxes and consumer units have to comply with current safety standards, one such standard is where the fuse box or consumer unit should be placed. Building regulations state that ideal locations are by the front door and close to the electrical meter. They can still be placed in a cupboard or under the stairs but you will need to ensure the fuse box is easily accessible for inspection and repairs in the future.

If you are worried about your fuse box and are suspicious of its activity, 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.
• Humming or buzzing sound.
• Electric shocks when turning appliances on.
• Flickering or dimming lights.
• Frequent blown fuses.
• Burning smell.
