What does a fuse board do?
Before we explain our role as fuse board electricians, it might be helpful if we start with the key role of the fuse board at your property in Milton Keynes. The fuse board, also known as a fuse box or more commonly known as the consumer unit, safely distributes electricity to the various circuits at your home.
While the fuse board is the primary control centre for diverting electricity from the mains power, it also plays a major role in preventing electrical hazards by switching off the power if an overcurrent or power surge occurs.
What does a fuse board electrician do?
As fuse board electricians, the team are skilled at conducting assessments on your fuse board in Milton Keynes to identify faults, damage but to also carry out repair work and upgrades.
Most of our work involves checking the fuse board for the presence of safety features, installed to protect individuals from electrical shocks.
Where we conduct a complete upgrade of the fuse board, we remove the existing one and ensure the new fuse board is connected to the wiring at your home in Milton Keynes.
Why might I need a fuse board electrician in Milton Keynes?
As fuse board electricians in Milton Keynes, we have a thorough understanding of the safety regulations which need to be considered. We work in line with BS7671, the standards set for all electrical work and safety regulations in the UK.
Electrical safety must be considered to minimise the risk of hazards such as shocks and fires. This is why modern fuse boards should be considered when thinking about upgrading electrical systems at your home. Fuse boards offer much better protection in the form of RCDs (residual current devices) and MCBs (mini circuit breakers). These devices are sensitive to changes in current, quickly switching off to protect individuals in the event of an overload in the power supply.
