2) Fuse box upgrades in Pinxton

Do you think it's time for a fuse box upgrade? Customers get in touch with us when they notice the fuses keep tripping, lights start to dim or flicker constantly or even when they notice an electrical humming sound. If in doubt, call Definitive Electrical Solutions as we have years of experience and can quickly establish the fault.

It’s essential to get your fuse box checked at the earliest opportunity. You don’t want minor faults to escalate, putting your home in Pinxton at greater risk. Additionally, the fuse box is the main driving force for distributing electricity around your home. A faulty fuse box could leave you without power which is a major inconvenience for modern households.

The same message is reiterated for homeowners who have an outdated fuse box, especially one which is over 25 years old. Old fuse boxes probably lack the safety features required for a modern household. Exposing your property to overheating and increasing the risk of electric shocks.

Definitive Electrical Solutions are fully NICEIC approved electricians. We have a wealth of knowledge having accumulated specialist skills over the years. Fuse box upgrades are considered major electrical work within the industry. Most of the work falls under Part P of the Building Regulations. The good news is that our NICEIC qualifications allows us to self certify work carried out by the team.

The benefits of a fusebox upgrade will be experienced for years to come. A robust, modern and electrically efficient system will provide better distribution of electricity, leading to more affordable energy bills. 
Should you wish to install additional systems like solar panels, you can be confident that a modern fuse box will be able to accommodate additional power loads too.

The greatest benefit is the improved safety you can gain. Modern fuse boxes include features which trip immediately when a fault is detected. To reset, you simply flick the switch back.
Devices like RCD or Residual Current Devices are sensitive to the smallest changes in current. They kick in quickly to protect individuals from electric shocks. SPDs or Surge Protection Devices are designed to protect electrical equipment during a voltage spike.

We understand any type of building work can be disruptive. That's why the team works methodically to complete typical fuse box upgrades in 4-6 hours, as long as it's a straightforward upgrade. For the majority of upgrades, it's the testing upon completion which is more time consuming. 
We never rush the testing side of projects but do factor in the size of a property and the condition of existing wiring. Larger homes in Pinxton with more circuits or older wiring will take slightly longer to test, confirming compliance with safety standards.
