A good place to start is explaining the role of the fuse board at your home in Willowcroft. The fuse board, sometimes called the fuse box or consumer unit is the central hub for electricity distribution at your property. Electricity from the mains is diverted by the fuse board to all the various circuits or zones in your home.
Each circuit will provide a current so that you can power up your electrical devices and gadgets.
The fuse box plays a major role in delivering electricity throughout your home safely. Fuse Boards act quickly to prevent electric shocks by the use of devices which quickly shut off the supply of power.
You might actually notice a few tell tale signs which indicate a fuse board upgrade is imminent. Call our team if you notice any of the following:
Outdated fuse boxes could potentially increase the risk of an electrical fire or electric shocks at your home in Willowcroft. In most cases where homes have outdated fuse boxes, the demands of modern appliances lead to the overheating of electrical elements which increases fire risks.
Here at Definitive Electrical Solutions, we recommend a fuse box upgrade if your existing unit is around 20-30 years old. Although there is no legal requirement to upgrade your fuse box, you can demonstrate your ability to comply with modern industry regulations as recommended by BS7671.
Another problem associated with outdated fuse boxes is the lack of safety devices such as RCDs or MCBs. Modern consumer units include these devices as they very quickly detect the slightest changes to the current, kicking in to break the circuit which will in turn protect you.
