Many old properties still have old fuse boxes with porcelain fuses. By upgrading your switchboard and installing a safety switch you can ensure your property is electrically safe. Installing a safety switch can save lives and prevent serious electrical faults.
So how do I know when to replace my switchboard?
Because the effects of age within a switchboard as so variable, there are other ways that you can detect if your switchboard needs replacing or upgrading.
- Is the switchboard and contained cabling overheating?
- Are fuses blowing more often than before or is any particular circuit breaker tripping more often?
- Is there unsteady electric supply – such as lights flickering?
- Do you still have an old fuse box with ceramic fuses?
By identifying these problems within your switchboard before a failure occurs, a replacement can be designed and implemented to prevent costly downtime.
