Fuse Box replacement in Long Ditton
If you suspect your fuse box is faulty, damaged or have not had a fuse box replacement in the last 20 years, then you may need to consider a fuse box replacement.
As the demand for electrical appliances in homes increase, older fuse boxes are not able to cope with the demands in power and for the sheer number of appliances we have switched on at any given moment. Precision Electrical Services always advise our customers with current information regarding industry guidance, we know that older fuse boxes can become damaged due to general wear and tear, loose connections and understand the benefits of modern day fuse boxes or consumer units. Modern fuse boxes include RCDs as an enhanced safety feature to prevent electrocution. Modern fuse boxes are generally made up of switches which trip if a surge in power is detected, you would simply flip the switch back to get your circuits working again.
There are some tell tale signs which could indicate that your fuse box is faulty or not functioning as efficiently. If you notice any of these signs, please refrain from any DIY, get in touch with a qualified and registered electrician such as Precision Electrical Services. Signs you might need a fuse box replacement are:
- Lights flickering.
- Lights failing to turn on.
- Buzzing or electrically humming sound.
- Electric shock when switching appliances on.
- The fuse box keeps tripping.
The stages involved during fuse box replacement are pretty simple.
- To ensure the safety of all on site, including ours, we need to turn off the power at the fuse box.
- Traditionally fuse boxes have been located under the stairs or in a cupboard but guidance now suggested that the ideal location is for fuse boxes to be installed out in the open, above head space.
- The old fox box is removed.
- Any new wiring required for the new fuse box will be laid.
- The new fuse box or consumer unit will be installed and necessary connective circuitry work will take place.
