Replacing your Fuse Board
Your fuse board, also known as a fuse box or consumer unit, plays a crucial role in distributing electricity from the main power supply throughout your home, business, or property.
Ensuring your fuse board is operating at peak efficiency is not only going to save you money, but it guarantees the safety of your building, as ageing or malfunctioning fuse boards can damage the electrical systems of your property – causing costly damage if left unchecked.
Ways that this can be prevented are through a fuse board replacement. Although it may not feel like your property needs a new fuse board, a fresh consumer unit installation can prevent multiple callouts, racking up costly fees over time.
If you're unsure if you need a consumer unit installation, the following signs you may need one are:
- Lights begin to get dimmer or start to flicker
- Unresponsive sockets or switches
- Power cuts
- Regular tripping of fuse board circuits
Consumer Unit Installation
At Harkins and Vickers Electrical Solutions, we specialize in the installation of metal fuse boards equipped with a Residual Current Device (RCD) for maximum safety. The addition of an RCD is a key advantage in replacing your fuse board, offering potential lifesaving protection in case of live wire encounters, and reducing the risk of electrical fires.
Our NICEIC-certified team of electricians conduct comprehensive testing on your electrical circuits and power points, making certain they function safely post-consumer unit installation. You'll receive confirmation of this through an Electrical Installation Report issued by our fully qualified and experienced NICEIC-certified electricians.
