**Why Upgrade Your Fuse Board** in **Downend**? (Essential Reasons)

For properties in **Downend**, upgrading from an old fuse box to a modern **18th Edition Consumer Unit** is not just an upgradeβ€”it's an essential safety investment. This protects your family, your property, and your legal compliance.

**1. Enhanced Fire and Shock Safety (RCDs)**

Old fuse boxes offer minimal protection. Modern units feature **RCDs (Residual Current Devices)** and **RCBOs** which instantly cut power in the event of a fault, preventing electric shocks and greatly reducing the risk of fire. **Crucial for family homes in Downend.**

**2. Meeting Legal & Insurance Requirements**

If you're buying, selling, or renting out a property in BS16, a new consumer unit is often required by conveyancers, mortgage lenders, and essential for passing an **EICR** (Electrical Safety Certificate). **Mandatory for landlords.**

**3. Protection Against Power Surges**

The latest units include built-in **Surge Protection Devices (SPDs)** to safeguard sensitive and expensive modern electronics (computers, TVs, charging points) from damage caused by power spikes. A smart investment for **Downend** homes.

!! Take Care When Selecting an Electrician !!

Many electricians in Bristol are simply not interested in the small jobs.They want the choice jobs and will drop you when a bigger,supposedly more lucrative project comes in.

Others advertise as electricians having no qualifications.They thrive on the basis that you don't understand what they do and as a result charging for shoddy,and often dangerous electrical work.

I set up Burridge Electrical to provide you with a quality service and provide you with exactly what you need from a qualified electrician.
