There are still many properties with out-dated fuse boards.
By turning a blind eye on our electrics, we are leaving our family in a potentially unsafe environment. It’s important that your electrics meet the current safety standards and your consumer unit (fuse board) has been upgraded to 18th Edition.
Dated consumer units take longer to react to an electrical fault, which could cause serious injury or death.
INDICATIONS THAT YOUR DISTRIBUTION BOARD MAY REQUIRE AN UPGRADE…
Fuse board keeps tripping
Regular fuses blowing
Fuse box has a wooden back board
Cast iron or ceramic switches
If any of the above apply to your current electrical installation we would advise that you contact a professional electrician.
