Your fuse box, the consumer unit in the trade, is the heart of your home's electrics, and in Norwich's older housing it is the weak point I find most often. A wooden-backed board, old rewireable fuses or no safety switches all mean the electrics are not protecting you the way a modern board would. A new consumer unit cuts the power in a fraction of a second when something goes wrong, guarding you from shock and your home from electrical fire.
I test every circuit before the changeover so there are no surprises, fit a quality board with surge protection as standard, label everything clearly and walk you round the new board before I leave. You get your certificate, and as a NAPIT-registered electrician I notify the work to Building Control for you. Most Norwich upgrades are finished in a day, with the power off for only a few hours.
Circuits tested first
Every circuit is inspected and tested before the swap, so hidden faults in your Norwich home are found and priced honestly up front.
Protection on every circuit
Each circuit gets its own safety switch, so a fault in one room never blacks out the whole house, plus surge protection as standard.
Certified and notified
A clearly labelled board, fully tested, certified and notified to Building Control through my NAPIT registration.
Your questions, answered
How long will the power be off?
Usually just a few hours in the middle of the day. I plan the changeover so the disruption to your Norwich home is as short as possible.
Why does my new fuse box trip when the old one never did?
Modern boards catch faults the old one silently ignored, which is exactly the protection you are paying for. I test every circuit at changeover, so anything the new board flags gets found and fixed properly.
Do I actually need a new fuse box?
If yours has rewireable fuses, a wooden back or no safety switches, it is worth upgrading. If yours is fine, I will tell you so. I will never sell you a board you do not need.
