Fuse Box Replacement in Burnley

Fuse box replacement in Burnley upgrades an old rewirable board to a modern consumer unit with RCD protection. The work protects every circuit properly and ends with a certificate. We work 6am to 11pm, so the power does not have to go off during the day.

What Makes the Old Box Dangerous

A fuse box with rewirable wire fuses gives no protection against an electric shock. If someone touches a live wire, the fuse does not blow in time. An RCD cuts the circuit in a fraction of a second. That difference is life saving, and it is why old boards get replaced.

How the Swap Works

We test the circuits before switching the power off, so we know what we are working with. The old board comes out, the new one goes in and each circuit is reconnected, labelled and tested. The whole job takes most of a day. Power is usually back on by mid afternoon.

What You Get at the End

Fuse box replacement is notifiable work. We register it and you get an Electrical Installation Certificate with the test results for every circuit. Keep it safe, because it is the document that proves the work was done properly when you sell or let the property.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a new fuse box in Burnley?

If the board has rewirable wire fuses instead of miniature circuit breakers, it needs replacing. Other signs are no RCD protection, fewer than eight ways on the board, or a cover that runs warm. If you are not sure, we can take a look and tell you.

How long does a fuse box replacement take?

Usually between four and six hours for a house with up to ten circuits. Testing first, removing the old board, fitting the new one, reconnecting each circuit and testing again. Older wiring that fails a test can add time, and we stop and tell you before we carry on.

Is a fuse box the same as a consumer unit?

People use both terms for the same thing. Older ones are called fuse boxes and have wire fuses. Newer ones are called consumer units and have miniature circuit breakers and RCD protection. When we replace a fuse box, we fit a modern consumer unit with full protection.
