Is your fuse board looking a bit tired? Are you experiencing recurring electrical faults? A fuse board replacement may be the answer. Paradigm Electrical Solutions are your local electricians specialising in fuse board replacement in Dunstable and the surrounding areas.
Why Should I Update my Fuse Board?
When older fuse boards were installed, the demand of modern technology wouldn’t have been something your fuse board was designed for. As technology has rapidly grown in the last decade, your old fuse board may now be struggling to keep up with the electrical demands. If you are experiencing regularly tripping electrics, this could be the reason why. An upgraded fuse board will be able to handle the additional electrical demands of appliances such as EV chargers. Not only are new fuse boards safer for your home, they are also more energy efficient and will save you money on your energy bills.
Signs Your Fuse Board Needs Replacing
You do not need to be an expert to know whether your fuse board needs replacing. Although sometimes an electrician will perform an EICR to test for electrical faults, there are also some very easy signs that you can spot yourself.
If your fuse board has not been replaced in 30 years, then it’s inevitable you will need a replacement. Your current fuse board will not have the correct safety features and will not be able to handle modern technologies. An outdated fuse board has an increased risk of electrical faults which can cause building fires and harm to a person. This is why a fuse board replacement in your Dunstable home is important.
Flickering lights, buzzing components and smells or signs of burning are other signs your fuse board needs replacing quickly. If you are experiencing these in your Dunstable home, then do not delay in contacting an electrician. Faulty electrics which are left untreated will increase the chance of hazards in your home.
When Should I Replace my Fuse Board and how Long Does it Take?
If you are noticing faults within your electrical system, then it’s a good time to consider a fuse board replacement. Another time a fuse board upgrade should be considered is if you add an extension to your home. This will allow your fuse board to safely handle the additional electrical demands.
It typically takes around 3-6 hours to replace a fuse board. Factors such as the accessibility of your fuse board and the manner of installation of the old fuse board will determine if this takes any longer.
