Signs you need a fuseboard upgrade

Think you’ve spotted signs you need a fuseboard upgrade? Don’t panic as Yeovil Electrics can quickly determine the quality and safety of your fuseboard in Crewkerne. As your local, reputable electrician, we guarantee the very best skill and workmanship. 

What does a fuseboard do?

Have you ever asked yourself how you would cope without your electrical gadgets and appliances. From making your hot cuppa in the morning to charging IT equipment for your home business, it’s safe to say we are heavily reliant on reliable and safe electrical installations. It’s the fuseboard at your home in Crewkerne which safely distributes electricity from the mains to all the various outlets in your home.

A fuseboard is cleverly designed to shut down a circuit if an increase in current is detected. This occasionally happens when too many electrical appliances are used in one circuit at any one time.

Caught sight of signs you need a fuseboard upgrade? If you’re based in Crewkerne, Yeovil Electrics are right on your doorstep, local to the area. The team are very familiar with local routes so can reach clients in no time at all to investigate your existing fuseboard.

Signs you need a fuseboard upgrade

Some clients reach out to us as they’re concerned with signs such as a burning smell, a physical crack or damage to the fuseboard, flickering lights and also fuses blown frequently. These are typical signs which may indicate that you need a fuseboard upgrade at your property in Crewkerne.

The team at Yeovil Electrics are highly experienced having been in the trade for a number of years. We use electrical tools and testing equipment to help establish whether the signs you need a fuseboard upgrade do suggest an upgrade is needed.

Why consider a fuseboard upgrade for my home?

Aside from the signs listed above, it might be a good idea to consider a fuseboard upgrade if your current one is around 25-30 years old.

Older fuseboards fail to meet the safety standards which are included in modern fuseboards. Outdated fuseboards also tend to show signs of general wear and tear, may have loose connections between cables attached to the terminals and may even be made of older, combustible materials.

A fuseboard upgrade will give you far greater protection in the event of a power surge. Devices such as RCDs and MCBs are included in modern fuseboards, designed to stop the flow of current, preventing electric shocks.

By carrying out a fuseboard upgrade, you’ll be better supporting the electrical installations at your home in Crewkerne. Many homeowners now have smart features, EV home chargers and solar panels so making sure these additional powerloads are supported is essential.
