Fuseboard upgrades in Newport
Older fuse boards often lack the protection features required by today’s wiring regulations. They may not include Residual Current Devices (RCDs) or Surge Protection Devices (SPDs), creating a greater risk from electrical faults.
A new consumer unit offers:
Enhanced safety through RCD protection against electric shock
Improved fire prevention with circuit breakers that trip in milliseconds
Compliance with the latest BS 7671 wiring regulations
Better capacity to handle modern electrical demands
Clear labelling for easier circuit identification and maintenance
Some of the common signs that suggest a new fuse board may be needed include:
Rewireable fuses instead of circuit breakers
No RCD protection
Frequent tripping or blown fuses
Signs of overheating or burning around the fuse board
Planning major electrical work or a property rewire
If any of these apply, we strongly recommend an inspection to assess your current setup.
