 SJ Supplies are fully insured professionals with years of experience in all aspects of electrical installation, maintenance, fault finding and repair working, including fuse board upgrades too. 

What does fuseboard do?

The fuseboard, often referred to as the consumer unit at your property in Bexley, acts as the control centre for all electrical distribution at your home. Electricity coming from the mains supply is delivered to the fuseboard which then diverts electricity to all the circuits at your property, each circuit powering electrical appliances in a particular room or area.

The fuseboard plays an important role in efficient electrical distribution at your property but with safety in mind. Safety features such as RCDs or residual current devices and MCBs or mini circuit breakers “trip” or switch off when an overload in power is detected, protecting you and your home.

Signs you need a fuseboard  upgrade

If you’re a homeowner or landlord in Bexley and you suspect a faulty fuseboard, here are some telltale signs we like our customers to look out for if you think it's time for a fuse board upgrade.

• Flickering lights.
• Electrical humming or buzzing sound.
• Circuit breaker trips frequently.
• Burning smell.
• Fuses blown regularly.
• Visible damage to the outer casing of the fuse board.

A major deciding factor when it comes to fuseboard upgrades is the age of the fuse board. Many older fuse boards lack the safety features which are included in modern day fuse boards. Older fuse boards fail to cope with the electrical demands of modern homes due to the sheer number of electrical appliances in use.

What happens during a fuse board upgrade?

As locals to Bexley, we have a pretty good understanding of the electrical requirements in the many styles of properties in Bexley. Having conducted a number of fuse board upgrades at traditional older homes, bungalows and new builds, we are systematic in our approach.

To keep ourselves, you and your property safe during the fuseboard upgrade, we will initially turn off the power supply. The old fuse board and existing circuits will be removed. Don’t panic, we make a note of the original circuit positions.

The new fuse board will be installed as well as reconnecting the circuits.

A major part of our work as electricians is the testing stage to ensure the new fuse board and circuitry work are functioning efficiently and safely. We run a series of electrical tests and issue you with an EIC or electrical installation certificate to confirm compliance with UK regulations.

We know that any building work at your home can be disruptive but to put your mind at ease, it might be worth mentioning that SJ Supplies work methodically and swiftly to complete projects in the time frame discussed.
