Fuse Board Upgrade in Shrewsbury
A new consumer unit was installed at this home in Shrewsbury to replace an outdated rewireable fuse board.
The old generation fuse board still currently in use was not inherently unsafe just due to its age.
But a modern consumer unit does provide newer features and improved safety, with the major safety improvement being the inclusion of RCD protection on all circuits now.
An RCD (Residual Current Device) is a life-saving device which is designed to prevent you from getting a fatal electric shock if you touch something live such as a bare wire.
RCDs offer an additional level of personal protection that ordinary fuses or circuit-breakers cannot provide.
Over the last 20 years or so the updates to the wiring regulations have brought about the need for RCDs to be installed on all circuits in a domestic dwelling.
So consequently the new consumer unit is now much safer and easier for the customer to use đź‘Ť.
If you are unsure whether or not you would benefit from a new consumer unit installed in your home now also, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Call Ray today to book a free visit or obtain free advice and information about this over the phone.
