Why should you update your fuse board?

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my fuseboard needs replacing?

If your board is more than 10–15 years old, has rewirable fuses, lacks RCD protection, shows signs of burning or buzzing noises, or if you’re experiencing frequent trips and faults, it’s time to consider upgrading.

A professional safety check can confirm if it’s necessary.

How long does it take to install a new fuse board?

In most cases, a domestic fuse board upgrade can be completed within one day.

You might be without power for a few hours while we work, but we’ll always keep you informed and minimise disruption.

Will I need to replace all the wiring in my house too?

Not necessarily.

If your existing wiring is in good condition, a new fuse board can be installed without the need to rewire the entire home. During your free safety survey, we’ll assess and advise you clearly on the best approach.

Is it really safer to have surge protection fitted?

Yes. Surge protection devices (SPDs) are now considered an essential part of a safe modern installation. They protect your home’s appliances and electronics from unpredictable voltage spikes, potentially saving you hundreds or thousands of pounds in repairs or replacements.

Will the new board meet current regulations?

Absolutely. Every installation is carried out to the latest British Standards (BS 7671) and building regulations.

After the upgrade, you’ll also receive an Electrical Installation Certificate for your records and full peace of mind.
