2) Fuse box upgrades in Shirland

Fuse boxes play a key role in supplying different areas of our homes with electricity from the mains power. The fuse box therefore needs to act as a protective measure during episodes of power surges, preventing electric shocks. Traditional fuse boxes would require you to physically change the fuse (small, thin piece of metal) during a power surge as the fuse would generally “blow”. This is very dangerous, not to mention time consuming. If your property in Shirland has an outdated fuse box, it might be time to consider replacing it with a modern fuse box or consumer unit for added safety and efficiency. There are a few tell tale signs which could indicate that your fuse box is in trouble and in desperate need of repair. As qualified electricians, we advise you get in touch with us if you notice any of the following signs:

  • Flickering or dimming lights

  • Frequent blown fuses

  • Overloaded outlets

  • Humming or buzzing sound

  • Electric shocks when turning appliances on

Modern fuse boxes work using a series of switches, each controlling an area or zone in the building. Fuse boxes also include devices such as MCBs and RCDS. 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. All you need to do is flip the switch back once the surge or fault has been cleared. RCDs or residual current devices are very sensitive to fluctuations in current, they also “trip” to disconnect power preventing electric shocks.

The features of improved safety, protection and better efficiency are incorporated in the modern technology used in up to date consumer units and fuse boxes. Older fuse boxes simply lack the technology which makes them very unreliable and a major safety hazard. Our team of qualified electricians know exactly what they’re doing when it comes to upgrading your fuse box. We can complete upgrades in around a day or two, keeping disruptions to a minimum. We provide you with a certificate of compliance once the upgrade and necessary electrical connections are made with existing circuits in your home.

A great time to consider a fuse box upgrade is during any renovation or extension work you might be planning,  considering new circuits for the latest part of your home can easily be incorporated into a new or upgraded consumer unit or fuse box. Fuse box upgrades are not for the faint hearted, it's definitely not a DIY job and only a service which can be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Definitive Electrical Solutions are holders of NICEIC domestic installer and approved contractor status and also Part P Electrical Safety approved. It might be worth adding that all our team members are enhanced CRB checked for your peace of mind.

All work carried out by Definitive Electrical Solutions in Shirland is compliant, to a high quality and safe.
