Fuse Box Replacement in Milton Keynes
If your fuse box has rewirable fuses, a metal pull-out handle or a plastic case with no safety switches, it belongs to an older way of doing things. Boards like this are still common in the original Milton Keynes estates and in the older village homes around the edge of the city. They do their job until something goes wrong, and then they are too slow to protect anyone.
A modern consumer unit gives every circuit its own protection. One fault no longer puts the whole house in the dark, and the board cuts the power fast enough to guard against a shock or a fire. John tests your circuits first, so any hidden problem shows up before the swap rather than after it, then fits the new board, labels every circuit and gives you the certificate.
Tested before the swap
We test the circuits first, so nothing hidden turns into a surprise on the day.
One day in most homes
Most boards are changed in a single day, with the power off for only part of it.
Clearly labelled
Every circuit is marked up, so you always know which switch does what.
Your questions, answered
What is the difference between a fuse box and a consumer unit?
They are the same thing, just different generations. A fuse box usually means the older type with fuse wire or plug-in fuses. A consumer unit is the modern version with breakers and safety switches. Most people still say fuse box, and that is fine.
Why does my new board trip more than the old one?
Because it is doing its job. A modern board spots faults an old one ignored. John tests every circuit as part of the work, so anything it flags gets sorted out properly instead of being left.
Do I need to tell Building Control?
The work is notifiable, but you do not have to do anything. John is NAPIT registered, so he notifies Building Control for you and the paperwork lands with you afterwards.
