2) Fuseboard upgrade in Bramcote Hills

We work with homeowners and landlords who suspect a faulty or ageing fuseboard. Signs such as constant nuisance tripping, buzzing sounds from the unit as well as burning smells, similar to acid like or plastic burning typically suggest a fault with the fuseboard. Definitive Electrical Solutions do advise clients to consider a fuseboard upgrade if the existing one at the property is at least 25 years old. Outdated boards lack certain safety features found in modern ones or more commonly known, consumer units.

A standard, straightforward fuseboard or consumer unit upgrade in Bramcote Hills costs between £600 - £700 but the total cost is determined by additional work such as any upgrades to wiring or whether you opt for a pre-populated board.

During installation, you will be without power for a few short hours so the electricians can work safely on disconnecting the old board and installing your new consumer unit. Once installation is complete, we run a series of electrical tests to confirm all circuits and breakers are working and that breakers trip in the event of a power failure or short circuit. Homeowners are usually issued an EIC or Electrical Installation Certificate to confirm work conducted by an NICEIC approved electrician is compliant with regulations.

There are numerous benefits to installing a new fuseboard, the primary benefit is the enhanced safety features included in modern boards. Devices such as MCB’s or Mini Circuit Breakers are often inbuilt in modern fuse boards and are very sensitive to fluctuations in current, detecting a short circuit or overcurrent in milliseconds. MCB’s are designed to trip quickly, shutting off power to circuits, preventing overheating.

Another key feature is RCD protection, a Residual Current Device is designed to prevent injury through electric shocks. These devices trip quickly if a current leak is detected.

A fuseboard upgrade at your home in Bramcote Hills is a great investment, particularly if you’re considering putting your home on the market some time in the near future.

A fuseboard upgrade will also get your home ready to better manage the additional power demands for systems like solar panels or EV charger installation.
