How long does it take?
Most fuse box replacements take around a day.
Will my power be off?
Yes, for part of the day while the new board goes in. We’ll tell you roughly how long before we start.
What is an RCD?
A safety switch that cuts the power in a fraction of a second if there’s a fault, protecting you from electric shock and reducing fire risk.
Is a fuse box swap notifiable?
Yes. It has to be done by a registered electrician and notified to building control. We handle that and you get the certificate.
What if you find a fault?
We test your circuits first. If something needs fixing, we’ll explain it and price it before doing anything else. If the wiring itself is past it, we’ll talk you through a rewire.
