Fuse board upgrades in Birmingham

Most homes across the UK don’t meet today’s regulations when it comes to fuse boards. Since July 2008 the 17th edition regulations came into force and it states that all electrical circuits connected in the fuse board should be RCD protected unless the installation is maintained by a qualified electrician 24 hours a day

Replacement of a fuse board is advisable if there is no RCD protection. This will make your property a safer place and provides protection against your appliances if a fault was to occur. Changing a fuse board normally takes between 1 and 3 hours and for most of that time the power will be off.

Fuse board upgrades and regulations

Please be aware that a fuse board can only be changed if the rest of the installations meet current regulations which include earthing systems in the property. In some cases you will have to upgrade your earth bonding, or rewire unearthed lighting circuit’s to meet regulations
