Fuseboard Upgrade Salisbury

As an NICEIC accredited company and a Which? Trusted Trader, we bring both a high level of skill and peace of mind to every job.

The Fuseboard (AKA The Brain!)  

Your fuseboard (often referred to as a consumer unit) is the brain of your electrical system. It distributes electricity around your property and protects you if something goes wrong by cutting off the power when a fault is detected (clever, right?). A modern consumer unit fitted with RCD (Residual Current Device) protection is designed to offer much faster and more reliable protection than older systems - and that means a safer home for you and your family. So, as soon as signs of deterioration appear, it’s smart to consider an upgrade sooner rather than later.

What Does An Old, Outdated Fuseboard Look Like?

Many people don’t give much thought to their fuseboard - until there’s a problem. However, outdated boards are more common than you might think, especially in older homes around Salisbury. Signs you may have an older system include:

• Rewireable fuses with coloured wires rather than modern switches.
• A metal-backed board that looks aged and bulky - you know the ones!
• A lack of clearly labelled circuit breakers.
• No RCD switches, which are a vital safety feature in today’s units.

If your fuseboard looks old-fashioned or simply confusing, we would highly recommend booking in for an upgrade ASAP.

Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

Sometimes your fuseboard will give you clear indications that something isn’t right. Some common warning signs include:

• Frequent tripping.
• Burning smells or scorch marks on sockets / switches.
• Buzzing or crackling sounds coming from the board.
• Lights that flicker even after bulbs have been replaced.

These issues should never be ignored - they could be warning you of a potentially harmful hazard.
