These units are at the core of your homes electrical system and are what keep you safe against the dangers electricity can bring. A Fuseboard Upgrade Ealing can be the solution to many issues in your home you may be experiencing. From faulty wiring problems to frequently tripping fuses or the addition of new appliances to potentially saving you money are all good reasons to upgrade today.
Parts of a Fuseboard
Ultimately there are 4 main components to a fuseboard, let Pure Electrical Solutions offer a brief explanation of each one.
- Main Switch – this controls the flow of electricity to the entire system
- Residual Current Devices (RCD’s) – these are safety switches that monitor the power supply and trip the circuit if a fault is detected
- Circuit Breakers – these automatically protect devices that switch off a circuit if a fault is detected
- Fuseboard Enclosure – this is the box that houses all the components and is fire resistant
Why have a Fuseboard Upgrade?
Old style fuseboards (fuseboxes) contained fuses that, when overloaded, would melt. The fuse would then be needed to be replaced. With more modern fuseboards (consumer units) containing circuit breakers they automatically switch off when they are overloaded meaning they merely need to be rest and not replaced.
A Fuseboard Upgrade at your Ealing home provides more safety features such as residual current devices (RCD’s) that protect against electric shock, they are more efficient saving you energy, they comply with present-day regulations and are easier to reset.
How to check your fuseboard
Pure Electrical Solutions would recommend homeowners to get their fuseboards checked every ten years as a maximum. Should you choose to more often we would not decline. You may potentially be requested by any mortgage provider to also get a check when buying or selling a home. We’d also strongly advise in you checking your Residual Current Devices every 3 months by using the “test” button located next to the switches. Again if you do not have RCD’s that might just be the perfect reason to consider your Fuseboard Upgrades Ealing.
