Upgrading Your Fuse BoardThere are many reasons for upgrading your fuse board but the main reason should always be for safety. If you still have fuses for which you have to replace the wire inside them or even a board that doesn’t have an RCD, then you should really look at having your fuse board replaced.
New fuse boards have to be made of metal since the beginning of 2016. This is so that if there is a problem in the fuse board and it overheats, any fire will stay within the board and the electrical supply should get disconnected before it gets too serious |
Certified Installation |
You should always find an electrician that is registered with a government body like Napit or NICEIC. These companies make sure that their members are fully qualified and insured. When you have an electrician provide a quote, he will ask to check whether your earthing arrangement is to code, as well as take a general look at the state of your installation to see if there are any potential issues. In addition, when the electrician has replaced the board, he will fully test all of the electrics in your house and produce a certificate to prove that it is safe to use.
Changing the fuse board should take a morning depending on the size of your property. Once complete, there would be a full test on the property to find any problems with the wiring. Any small problems can be fixed there and then and hopefully within the price. You will then receive a certificate and a buildings notification of the works done which would help you if you were to sell your property. |
