Fusebox replacement

Electrician in Darlington - Consumer Unit Upgrades & replacements 

Here’s a photo of today’s task, an upgrade of a consumer unit which has rewireable fuses. This installation is just outside of Darlington in Gainford village.

We will be upgrading this board with a Hager RCBO unit complete with surge protection. Where possible I’ll always leave some spare ways at least 20% for future circuits.

The board has RCBO’s instead of the more common dual RCD’s as it’s far superior in terms of nuisance tripping. Which makes it much more user friendly.

Are you in need of an electrician in Darlington?

We offer a personal service being a small company in comparison to a national firm where I really do believe the level of service is much greater.

Things to bear in mind when hiring an electrician in Darlington:

Do they have the relevant insurances?

Everyone from time to time makes mistakes unintentionally and in some cases this can result in serious damage to building or contents. In this instance a claim against the insurance in the only way to go.

An electrical safety certificate is a document issued by a qualified and registered electrician. The certificate demonstrates the safety of the electrical installations, wiring and fuses. Electrical safety certificates are recommended for all property owners and whilst not a legal requirement for homeowners, if you are a landlord (or plan to be one) you will have a legal requirement to hold up to date electrical safety certificates which must be renewed every 5 years.

Generally speaking, the only time people ever look at their fuse box is when a switch trips, the rest of the time the fuse box is hidden away doing its job feeding electricity throughout your home and keeping you safe from the potential dangers of electricity. If something does go wrong your fuse box is designed to protect you from the risk of electrocution or fire.
