What does a fuseboard do?
The fuseboard, more commonly known as the consumer unit is the main distribution hub for electricity at your home in Bracknell. Electricity from the national grid is diverted by the fuseboard to all the various zones or circuits in your home, providing electricity to power up your appliances.
The fuse board adds an element of safety to your home in Bracknell, especially if a short circuit or overload is detected. Generally the fuse in question will trip to break the circuit, preventing the flow of current, keeping you safe.
Why might I need a fuseboard upgrade?
If you’re doubting the functionality of the fuseboard at your property in Bracknell, it might be worth looking at some of the tell tale signs we’ve listed:
- Dimming or flickering lights
- Damage or burn marks on the outer case of the fuseboard.

- Frequently tripping fuses.
If you do suspect a fuseboard upgrade is due, give our team at Thames Valley Electrician a call today. Through a few troubleshooting investigations, we’ll be able to determine whether a fuseboard upgrade is required.
Should I upgrade my outdated fuseboard?
Yes! If the fuseboard at your property hasn’t been modernised in the last 25 years, it's definitely time to consider a fuseboard upgrade in Bracknell.
Aside from lacking essential safety features, outdated fuseboards are not equipped to manage the electrical load of modern homes. As a great deal of electrical appliances are used in the average household, there is a greater element of risk associated with older fuseboards. Older fuseboards may also show signs of deterioration through general wear and tear over the years.
Benefits of a fuseboard upgrade in Bracknell
Modern fuseboards include safety devices in the form of RCD’s and MCB’s which provide immediate protection against fires and electric shocks. SPD’s or surge protection devices also play a role in protecting electrical appliances from damage.
Once we’ve conducted a fuseboard upgrade, hopefully you’ll notice better energy efficiency in your home in Bracknell. Modern fuse boards will aid in better distribution of electricity so there’ll be less wasted energy.
