Consumer unit and fuse board upgrades in Motspur Park

Outdated metal fuse boxes featuring rewireable fuses may experience failure in the event of an overcurrent fault. In contrast, contemporary consumer units with isolation switches, residual current devices (RCDs), and miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) offer enhanced individual circuit protection.

As well as updating an outdated fuse board, other reasons you may choose to upgrade your consumer unit include during rewiring, if the fuse board needs to be relocated, or if extra capacity is required.

We regularly inspect and upgrade old fuse boxes to align with current regulations and enhance electrical safety. While installing the updated system, a temporary power supply can be arranged if necessary. Upon completion, we will conduct thorough testing and can provide an electrical installation certificate for your records.

EICRs and electrical testing covered in Worcester Park, KT4

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), commonly known to customers as a Periodic Inspection, Landlord Safety Certificate or House Buyers Report, assesses the state of existing electrical installations. The report provides one of two outcomes: Satisfactory indicates that the installation is safe for continued use, while unsatisfactory signals indicate one or more safety issues have been identified.

For homeowners, BS7671 (18th Edition Wiring Regulations) recommends conducting an Electrical Installation Condition Report every ten years, during property transitions, or when suspicions arise about subpar work.

In rental properties, the Landlord and Tenant Act (1985) mandates landlords to ensure the electrical installation is safely maintained throughout the tenancy. BS7671 recommends an EICR every five years or upon a change in tenancy. Since 2020, this has been a legal requirement.

Worcester Park rewiring

What are the signs that you need a rewire? Assessing the condition of your electrical wiring solely through visual inspection poses challenges, as a significant portion of it resides within walls, floors, and ceilings. To gauge its state, we will examine socket outlets, switches, and lights for signs of damage or overheating. The presence of numerous extension leads and adapters may indicate an insufficient number of electrical sockets.

In properties with aged wiring or partial rewiring, switches and sockets might be affixed to skirting boards. An outdated fuse board, also known as a consumer unit featuring rewireable fuses and often mounted on a wooden board, indicates that your wiring is antiquated and may require replacement.

Outdated wiring elevates the potential for electrical shocks and fires. If you have concerns, we can advise on the most efficient solution and install secure, fully certified replacement wiring.
