FUSEBOX / FUSEBOARD REPLACEMENT

Your fuseboard is the unsung hero of your home. With all the electricity channelling through it, it is responsible for the safe distribution of electricity around your home.

In the event of an electric problem such as a surge, a modern fuseboard will switch off the affected circuit and prevent electrical shock or fire.

SIGNS THAT YOU NEED A FUSEBOARD REPLACEMENT

Outdated fuseboards are less effective at protecting from electrical faults, making them very dangerous. Here are a few signs that you should have your fuseboard inspected or replaced:

• Your fuseboard is more than 20 years old.
• Your fuseboard is not fitted with an RCD (residual current device).
• There are blanking plates or fuseholders missing, leaving live parts exposed.
• Your fuseboard is constructed of wood or plastic – this is a huge fire risk and should be acted upon.
• If your fuses keep blowing, it could be a sign that your fuseboard isn’t modern enough to handle your electricity usage.
• If you notice any burned connections or corrosion within your fuseboard, you should contact an electrician to inspect it.
