Numerous homes in London, unfortunately, still rely on old-style fuse boxes that lack the sophistication and security of modern consumer units, putting residents at unwarranted risk of electrical accidents. Here are the main reasons you should switch to a modern consumer unit.
Upgrading from an old-style fuse box to a modern consumer unit is not just about compliance and safety; it’s about fostering a secure and harmonious living space, be it owned or rented, within the vibrant and dynamic environment of London.
A: If you're unsure about the appropriate time to replace your fuse box, consider if you experience flickering lights, non-functional plug sockets, frequent necessity to reset fuses, or if your fuse box and electrics do not comply with the latest regulations, or have asbestos flashguards. It’s also crucial to check if the unit is broken, outdated, or made out of wood, contains rewireable fuses with fuse wire, or if any issues have been highlighted during an electrical inspection. Should you have any uncertainties about whether an upgrade is needed, feel free to call us to schedule an EICR inspection for a detailed report on the condition of your electrical system.
A: The cost for a fuse box replacement depends on various factors, such as the number of circuits, the type of consumer unit, the current condition of your electrical system, any required earth bonding work, and any additional electrical work needed in the property. Therefore, to provide you with the most accurate and fair price, we offer personalised quotes after conducting a thorough on-site survey to understand your specific needs and requirements better.
A: Unfortunately, it is not permissible to replace the fuse box on your own. The replacement of the consumer unit is classified as notifying electrical work to the local building control in domestic properties. Hence, it necessitates the intervention of a competent electrician who is certified to carry out the work and certify it according to wiring regulations BS7671. Furthermore, a building control compliance certificate must be issued in accordance with building regulations Part P.
A: Typically, the age of your electrics doesn’t necessitate additional work. However, earth bonding is the most common additional task that might be required, being a mandatory prerequisite as per Wiring Regulations BS7671 and Building Regulations Part P. The earth bonding connection between the Main Earth Terminal and gas/water pipes is essential for electrical safety, as it minimises the magnitude of touch voltages.
A: The time required to complete a fuse box replacement service is subject to several factors, including the type of device being installed, the condition of the existing box and wiring, and the length of post-installation tests to be executed by the electrician. Generally, we strive to complete fuse box replacements within 4 to 6 hours, encompassing all necessary tests to ensure the safety and compliance of your new installation.
A: We are pleased to extend our electrical installation and repair services to all areas within the M25 zone in London. We aim to reach our valued customers wherever they are located within this region and provide them with efficient and prompt services to address their electrical needs.
A: A fuse box or consumer unit should ideally be replaced when purchasing a new property, when planning to rent out a property where electrics have not been upgraded for several years, or if there is a lack of residual current devices (RCDs) for wiring embedded in the walls, and for socket circuits and outlets connected to outdoor electrical equipment. It is also advisable to consider replacement if you are in the process of obtaining property insurance or if your property hasn’t undergone an electrical inspection in over 10 years.
A: Yes, as a landlord, ensuring that the property adheres to The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 is paramount. These regulations stipulate compulsory testing in all rented properties to verify that the fuse box or the consumer unit is fit for purpose. Older fuse boxes, which utilise fuses instead of circuit breakers, often do not conform to current regulations, necessitating their replacement with a modern consumer unit to safeguard compliance and tenant safety.
A: While your old fuse board may appear to be functioning well, upgrading to a modern consumer unit can significantly enhance safety within your residence. Contemporary units are equipped with Residual Current Devices (RCDs), crucial safety components designed to immediately disrupt electricity flow in the event of an electric shock. Unfortunately, older fuse boxes lack this essential feature and could potentially have slower response times, a delay that might mean the difference between life and death. Subsequently, transitioning to a new distribution board could substantially augment the safety of your electrical installation, safeguarding your family or tenants against the risks of electric shocks or fires.
A: Absolutely, replacing your fuse board without rewiring is feasible, provided the existing installation has been thoroughly tested and is verified to be in compliance with current regulations. In such instances, the replacement process is straightforward and does not necessitate any additional rewiring efforts.
