Why Upgrade Your Fuse Board in Bristol? (Essential Reasons)

For properties in Bristol, 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 Bristol.

2. Meeting Legal & Insurance Requirements

If you're buying, selling, or renting out a property in BS1, 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 Bristol 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.
