The House Fuse Box Replacement in London You Can Trust
Is it time to replace your old electric fuse box?
There are many households in the UK that haven’t yet received professional electric fuse box replacement and lots of homeowners still find themselves relying on old clumps of wiring. If your property is in a similar condition, then you should consider changing your fuse box for safety reasons.
Leave your electrical installation in the hands of professionals
Even if your old consumer unit is working as intended, if the enclosure is made of plastic then your property is at greater risk of fire according to statistics gathered by the London Fire Brigade (LFB). The LFB recorded a startling increase of 182 home fires in the period of 2011/12 (71 home fires) – 2013/14 (253 home fires), they attributed this rise to poor wiring practices which led to plastic fuse boxes overheating and catching fire.

A new, metal clad fuse box will not only easily handle today’s ever-increasing electricity demands, but also successfully pass the UK’s strict building regulations.

What goes into fuse box replacement?
Professional earth & bonding check
Before replacing a fuse box or a circuit breaker fuse of any kind, the precise technician will first check if everything is properly earthed and bonded. This diligent inspection will include all electric power distribution equipment that you currently use. If the professional discovers any faults in your electrical installation, then we will have to postpone your fuse board replacement session until all problems have been safely resolved.

And guess what – you will be charged a hefty fee the moment you do so. Your competent and registered electrician, on the other hand, will happily visit the council for you at no extra cost.
