The cost of a fuse board upgrade in Medway ranges between £800 - £1,200 but the total cost is dependent on the board specification and size of property. Larger properties require a greater number of individual circuits so this requires longer installation and testing. Eru Electrics work with landlords, homeowners and letting agents who enquire about a fuse board upgrade for a number of reasons. If you’re planning major projects like a kitchen or loft extension, a fuse board upgrade may be necessary to better manage the additional circuits in the new space. We also advise a fuse board upgrade if the existing board is outdated, most likely lacking a number of safety features. If in doubt and want a professional opinion, Eru Electrics are locals to Medway with years of experience upgrading fuse boards.
What is included in a fuse board upgrade in Medway?
At a recent project at Jackson Avenue in Rochester, we were heavily involved in the early planning process of a kitchen refit. The existing kitchen at the 1930’s 3 bedroom terraced home was slightly outdated so needed modernisation. During the initial inspections of the electrical systems and existing board, we did find that it was outdated and wouldn't manage the additional capacity of the electrical systems the client wanted to include. We recommended a fuse board upgrade to safely support appliances like the new induction hob, especially as a new fuse board would include RCBO and SPD protection. Part of the upgrade process involves strict electrical testing of every single circuit, making sure recordings are in line with Wiring Regulations, BS 7672.
Why is a fuse board upgrade considered a safe option?
Modern fuse boards include safety devices that prevent serious hazards such as electrocution. The new fuse board installed by the team at Jackson Avenue included SPD or Surge Protection Devices which shields sensitive electrical appliances from high voltage spikes. We explained one of the benefits of an RCBO fuseboard was the individual earth leakage protection, only tripping a faulty circuit rather than leaving the whole property without power during a fault. As this particular fuse board upgrade in Medway was part of a kitchen refit, we had to make sure the new board could manage the higher current flow of new lighting circuits and kitchen appliances.
