How do I know if my fuse box is faulty?
There are some signs to look out for if you detect a faulty fuse box. Don’t hesitate to contact Fairway Electrical if you notice the following:
- Burning smells which could be caused by overheating.
- Buzzing sound.
- Tripping circuits.

- Rust or corrosion.
I can’t stress enough the dangers of having a faulty fuse box at your home in Redland. As a qualified and experienced electrician, I have the skills and training to prioritise safety of all occupants and the property.
Could an outdated fuse box be faulty?
If the fuse box at your home is 20-30 years old, you might be noticing problems with the unit more frequently. Older units may lack safety devices such as MCBs and SPDs, included to prevent electric shocks and damage to electrical appliances.
The components of outdated fuse boxes may have deteriorated over time. Older units are more likely to fail meeting safety regulations as well as struggling to cope with the power demands of modern homes. I’m always happy to conduct a visual check of the fuse box to put your mind at ease.
Who do I contact if my fuse box is faulty?
If you’re concerned about your faulty fuse box in Redland, you need to get in touch with an approved electrician as soon as possible. At Fairway Electrical, I’m a NAPIT approved electrician which means all electrical wiring, circuitry work and installation such as fuse box upgrades are conducted in line with BS7671.
To ensure all electrical work is conducted in line with regulations, I even offer a 6 year insurance backed guarantee through NAPIT.
Benefits of a fuse box upgrade
If it turns out that a fuse box upgrade is required, there are a range of advantages of installing a modern fuse box or consumer unit.
Firstly, new units include greater safety features. RDDs, MCsB and SPDs quickly detect changes in current. These devices trip quickly to reduce the onset of electric shocks or electrical fires. Even protecting electrical appliances in the event of a power surge.
Modern homes have greater power demands so need a fuse box with enough capacity. A modern fuse box will better support systems such as EV chargers, smart home features and high power appliances such as electric showers.
I pride myself on providing reliable and safe electrical installations which are efficient and stable sources of power.
