Is your fuse board feeling the heat?

You may wonder why you need to worry about your fuse board. It’s been there quietly working for decades, right?

All the more reason to give it a good health check.

Think smart TVs, electric hobs, car chargers, and home office setups. All of these place considerable demand on your fuse board and were never such a big consideration back in its prime all those years ago.

Properties without RCD protection (residual current devices) for wall wiring, socket circuits, or outdoor plugs are especially at risk of nuisance trips and (if your fuse box is really old) blown fuse wires at best, serious safety risks at worst.

An upgraded fuse board will help you to enjoy:

• better protection against electric shock and fire

• a system that’s compliant with the latest regulations 

• enough capacity for all your modern energy needs 

  
  

Whether you’re living in an older home or planning renovations, you may want to consider an upgrade to your fuse board and make sure your entire system is up to scratch.

But remember, leave this kind of thing to the experts!
