A fuse box is a critical piece of your electrical installation. There are several reasons why you may require a replacement:-

• Your current fuse board does not have a RCD (residual current device). This is a sensitive safety device that switches off electricity automatically in a fraction of a second if it detects any electrical fault on your circuit, or the smallest of current changes. This minimises the risk of electrical fires, electrocution or electrical shocks.

• Your fuse board is very old and has asbestos flash guards.

• Your fuse board is more than 10 years old . Fuses can age through use, therefore if it is older than 10 years you should get it checked by a qualified electrician.
