Plenty of Spondon's older cottages and terraces around the historic village core are still running on a fuse box that's long past its best, and it's the weak point we find most often. A modern consumer unit cuts the power in a fraction of a second when something goes wrong, which protects you from a shock and your home from an electrical fire. If yours still has rewireable fuses, a wooden back board or no safety switches, replacing it is one of the most worthwhile electrical jobs you can do.
We test every circuit before the changeover so there are no surprises, fit a quality board with surge protection as standard, label everything clearly and walk you round the new unit before we leave. The work is tested and certified, and being NAPIT registered we notify it to Building Control for you. Most swaps are finished in a day with only a short break in your power, all for one fixed price agreed before we start.
Circuits tested first
Every circuit inspected before the swap, so hidden faults in an older home are found and priced honestly up front.
Protection on every circuit
Each circuit gets its own safety switch, so a fault in one room never blacks out the whole house.
Finished in a day
Most changeovers are done inside a day with only a short break in your power, tested and certified.
Your questions, answered
My Spondon home has a very old fuse box, is it dangerous?
An old board isn't always dangerous, but it offers far less protection than a modern one. We test your circuits at changeover, so anything the old board was hiding is found and put right.
How long will my power be off?
Usually just a few hours in the middle of the day. We plan the changeover so the disruption to your home is as short as possible.
Why does my new board trip when the old one didn't?
Modern boards catch faults the old one silently ignored. That's exactly the protection you're paying for, and anything it flags at changeover we find and fix.
