Looking for an Electrician in Hazelwood?

Hazelwood is a small area in Corby just north of Snatchill. One of the many smaller areas that we cover as your local ELECTRICIAN IN HAZELWOOD.

There are many reasons why you might need to contact an ELECTRICIAN IN HAZELWOOD and a large variety of electrical services that we offer.

One of the most important aspects of home electrical installations is the consumer unit. The consumer unit is also known by other names, such as Fuseboard, Fuse box, electrical panel and trip switch box. They all relate to the same thing and that is the control centre of the home electrical system.

When should I update my Consumer Unit?

A consumer unit should be updated every 20 years or so. By the time the unit is 20 years old, components can have begun to corrode internally meaning that overheating can occur through poor connections.

Technology moves on quickly when it comes to electric shock protection devices and circuit protection which means that your 20 year old fuse box or consumer unit is likely to be outdated and possibly won’t offer the protection that you need in your home.

An older style consumer unit or fuse box will also limit any electrical work that can be carried out safely. Under wiring regulations, we must ensure that the circuits and consumer unit meet current standards before altering or adding to an electrical system.

If your fuse box or consumer unit is getting on a bit, give me a call and I will offer helpful advice and if necessary, a no obligation quote to upgrade your consumer unit to the latest and best protection available.
