New fuseboard Beverley

The fuse board plays an important role in the distribution of electricity from the mains to all the various circuits in your home. Each circuit powering appliances and lighting in the different areas or rooms of your property in Beverley.

If the fuseboard at your property hasn’t been upgraded in the past 30 years or so, it's definitely time for a new fuseboard. Older fuseboards lack safety features which are part and parcel of modern day fuse boards. Older fuseboards are also susceptible to damage through wear and tear over the years, loose electrical connections and in most cases, cannot cope with the electrical demands of modern day homes including all the electrical appliances in use. 

Signs you need a new fuseboard

There are some tell tale signs which may indicate a fault fuse board. We strongly suggest that you refrain from investigating your fuse board or making changes to it yourself. Working with fuse boards can be unpredictable and very dangerous due to the risk of electric shocks and fires.  

Tell tale signs you might need a new fuse board at your property in Beverley:

• Electrical appliances fail to turn on.
• Breakers trip repeatedly.
• Plug sockets are hot to the touch.
• Electric shocks when turning appliances on.
• Flickering or dimming lights.
• Burning smell.

Benefits of a new fuseboard

The greatest benefit to your home is the added protection you gain, especially from modern fuse boards or consumer units.

Safety features such as RCDs or residual current devices and MCBs or mini circuit breakers are incorporated in modern fuse boards, detecting the slightest surge in current. These features “trip” immediately by switching off electric shocks.

Devices such as SPDs or Surge protection devices kick in immediately to reduce the voltage if there is a sudden voltage spike, protecting electrical appliances in your home.

A fuseboard will simply have a switch which needs to be flicked back if an overload or surge is detected, making it much safer and less time consuming for you.

By upgrading to a new fuseboard, you can future proof your property, preparing it for any potential extensions or additional circuits you might need for an EV home charger for example. A new fuse board will also add greater appeal to future buyers as knowing electrical distribution in the property is compliant, up to date and efficient is a feature buyers are looking for.
