Choose a Silky Smooth Fuse Box Upgrade With Your Friendly Local Kent Based Electricians:
In today's contemporary homes, where reliance on advanced appliances and smart systems grows, the outdated fuse box becomes an increasingly unreliable and unprotective relic. Modern electrical appliances and technologies found in all your day to day appliances such as TVs, microwaves, laptops and phone chargers, have all evolved at a very rapid pace, and fuse box technologies from 10+ years ago were not made with this future in mind. Let alone fuse boxes from 30 years ago!
Prioritizing Safety in Medway & Maidstone:
- Enhanced Protection: Traditional fuse boxes lack modern safety features like Residual Current Devices (RCDs) and fire-rated (metal clad) enclosures. RCDs safeguard against life-threatening electric shocks, while metal fuse boards impede fire spread. Upgrading the fuse box in your home will help eliminate these risks, ensuring peace of mind for you and your family.
- Future-Proofed Security: New Fuse boxes often incorporate Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) that shield sensitive electronics from damaging power surges. Be under no illusion, almost everything you now have plugged in will have electronics in it. TVs, Washing machines, Fridges, Kettles, even. And the poor locals of Wayfield and Churchill Ave areas of Chatham who had the big surge and endured a week long power outage in 2023 will tell you, they do go pop.
Long lasting convenience for our clients:
- Modern Brands: Contemporary CUs will be up to date with the latest technologies, something that older model fuse boxes will not be able to accommodate. Keep your home future proof for further technologies such as EV and Solar PV with an up to date fuse box.
- Enhanced Functionality: Individual circuit breakers (RCBOs) within the CU isolate faults to as little as they can, preventing whole-house outages when just one circuit trips. This ensures you will have at least some of the power on in the event of a fault.
- Sustainable Investment: Upgrading your fuse box not only increases your home's safety and convenience but also enhances its future market value. Potential buyers recognize the value of a modern electrical system, making your property more attractive. Estate agents will likely have a tick box on their quick summary audit that will ask "is there an 18th edition metal fuse box?"
Investing in Your Home's Future:
While a fuse box upgrade may initially seem like an expense, it's a prudent investment in your home's long-term health and safety. (and your safety!) Think of it as a preventative measure, potentially saving you from costly repairs, potential fire damage, and emotional distress.

A Comprehensive Once Over For Your Electrics:
As Part of the fuse box upgrade process, and what helps to keep it silky smooth, your Kent electrical experts absolutely, categorically, recommend you have a health check on your electrics (otherwise known as an EICR) before we even start thinking about upgrading your fuseboard. And professionally speaking, we want to be doing a thorough one. Why?
Before we start upgrading your fuse box, which takes the best part of a day by itself, leaving you with no power, we like to do a belts and braces check on your electrics ahead of time, to ascertain:
- How healthy are the electrics currently?
- Is the new, more sensitive and up to date equipment, going to start tripping due to a fault previously ignored by the aged technologies of the existing fuse board?
- Do we need to do some fixes before we even think about upgrading the fuse box?
- Ultimately, when we fill out the paperwork for the electrical certificate, the bottom of the page reads "I declare that this installation is safe for continued use", and our local electrical experts sign their names next to that declaration. We need to make sure that property is entirely safe before we do so.
What does this mean for you?
- We do the homework and preparation up front, and only once we're confident we can power back on after a board upgrade, will we consider undertaking one
- Your electrics gets a healthy spring clean and spruce! When was the last time you had a proper health check on them? 20 years ago? Imagine if you hadn't taken your car for an MOT for 20 years..!
- You WILL get certificates and applicable building control notification from us
- We wouldn't have signed the declaration on that certificate if we didn't truly think your property is safe
