Highly recommended for all property owners

With no RCD protection, no fuse wire to hand and perhaps no experience of how to rewire a fuse, here are some compelling reasons to upgrade:

1.  When fuses blow in an old fuse box, they can be very tricky to replace, assuming that you have the correct fuse wire to hand. But who does these days? Then if this occurs when it’s dark, it won’t be easy to replace by candle light. Can you rewire a fuse?

2.   If you have an old fuse box, you will very likely have aging house wiring, switches and sockets. As these materials age, they break down, become brittle, break, and hence increase the risk electric shock or even fire. If you choose to upgrade, your entire electrical system will be tested and any issues requiring attention will be advised.

3.  Improved electrical safety to your property but more importantly, to your family or tenants
4. If you upgrade a circuit, or have new circuits for loft extensions, kitchen or bathroom replacements, you will have to have RCD protection in place which the old fuse boxes don’t have.
5. If you are a Landlord, you must ensure by law that your electrical system is safe for use, including your fuse box. Is yours?
