Safer, modern circuit protection

Many homes still have old-style fuse boards installed, offering little or no protection against electrocution. Renewing your old fuse board has a number of benefits, including improved safety.

RAL Electrical can ensure that you have an essential residual-current device (RCD) that provides additional protection. Modern miniature circuit breakers also offer crucial protection to each circuit throughout your home in the event of an electrical fault.

RCD protectionAdditional protection against electric shock.
Circuit protectionIndividual breakers protect circuits when a fault occurs.
Surge protectionHelps protect sensitive electrical and electronic equipment.

Complete fuse board replacement

We provide a complete fuse board replacement service. We install modern consumer units to current British Standards, with all replacements completed in line with the current requirements of BS 7671.

Included as standard

Essential surge protection (SPD)

New fuse boards are fitted with a Surge Protection Device (SPD) as standard. An SPD helps protect electrical equipment and sensitive electronics from sudden voltage surges caused by disturbances in the electricity supply or nearby lightning activity. This provides added protection for items such as televisions, computers, appliances, heating controls and other electronic equipment.

Additional work that may be required

When a fuse board is replaced, the requirements of BS 7671 and the issue of the relevant Part P certification may mean that some additional work is needed:

  • Upgrade of the main tails.
  • Upgrade of the main earthing conductor.
  • Upgrade of the main bonding conductors, including gas, water, oil, steel or structural services where applicable.

Any necessary work will be explained clearly before it is carried out.
