Looking for an Electrician in Granby?

1) Local electrician in Granby

The village of Granby is in the Rushcliffe area of Nottinghamshire close to the south eastern border of the county. Granby sits in the Vale of Belvoir, translated from Norman-French to mean, beautiful view. Granby is only 15 miles from Nottingham which makes it a great choice for the local workforce coming into and out of the big city.

The current village hall once used to be the school building but today many of the village's young children attend Orston Primary School. The one remaining public house in Granby is the Marquis of Granby which dates back to the 1760s.

2) Fuse board upgrade in Granby.

Have you ever thought about the fuse board at your Granby home and what it does? The staggering job of safely distributing electricity which comes in at the mains is diverted to all the various circuits at the property. This is how appliances and electrical gadgets are powered up, from your coffee machine in the morning to charging your EV sitting on your drive.

That's why it’s important to keep an eye on the fuseboard, making sure an upgrade is considered when the board has reached the end of its shelf life. Definitive Electrical Solutions recommend upgrading the fuse board to a modern, compliant consumer unit, which does the same thing but with better safety features if your existing unit is 25 - 30  years old. Like most appliances, an outdated fuse board can show signs of deterioration and wear and tear. If the fuseboard at your property in Granby was installed in the late 1990’s and hasn’t been upgraded since, it's most likely to fail meeting modern safety standards. Older boards are not really designed to manage modern systems such as EV chargers or solar panels which are becoming ever so popular across homes in Granby.

You might experience worrying signs when it comes to the fuseboard aging. Signs such as frequently tripping fuses, constant burning smells or flickering lights. If you’ve experienced these issues but have brushed them to the side, we’re sorry to say that you could be putting your house at risk of dangers such as electric shocks or fires caused by overheating.

Modern consumer units now include safety features such as RCD and SPD which protect individuals and electrical appliances, within milliseconds of detecting a fault or voltage spike.

As an efficient and experienced team, a standard, straight swap takes the team between 5-9 hours. This involves switching off power at the property for a few hours, safely removing the older unit and installing the modern one. Once installed, we run a series of tests which include earth loop impedance tests to make sure the new installation meets BS 7671 standards.

Upgrading the fuseboard is major work and Definitive Electrical Solutions understands the concerns you might have about letting an electrician into your home.
