FUSE BOARDS IN CHELMSFORD, ESSEX

installing and repairing fuse boards On domestic properties in essex

A fuse board, also known as a consumer unit, is an essential part of the property’s electrical system. It is responsible for controlling and distributing electricity throughout the property.

There are several reasons why you should consider getting a fuse board change including:

Safety: If your fuse board is old or outdated, it may not be equipped with the latest safety features.

Increased capacity: If you are wanting to add additional circuits to your property - for example car chargers, solar or garden lighting you may need to upgrade your fuse board to a larger unit.

Compliance: If you are planning to sell or rent out your property, you may need to ensure that your electrical system is up to date and meets the latest safety standards.

What will OJF do?

Our engineers will carry out a full EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) on the existing circuits of the property to make sure all the internal wiring in the house is up to current safety regulations. Once this is confirmed we will then install the new RCBO controlled board with surge protection into your installation.

What is an RCBO?

The RCBO monitors the electrical current flowing through a circuit. If there is an imbalance in the flow, which may indicate a fault such as current leakage, the device quickly cuts off the electrical supply to prevent harm to people or property.

What is surge protection?

A surge protection device (SPD) protects your electronic equipment from power surges, which are sudden and brief increases in electricity. Power surges can be caused by lightning strikes, power grid fluctuations, or current fluctuations within the property. These surges can cause significant damage to electronic equipment, such as computers, televisions, and other sensitive devices.
