Electricians Maldon

Old fuse boxes feature in older homes around Maldon while they are not illegal they are not as safe as the latest consumer units which feature Residual Current Devices (RCD fuses) and Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB’s).

The RCD’s protect you and your family from electrocution should anyone accidentally touch a live wire while MCB’s protect your circuits and appliances from overload and electrical fire.

Residual Current Operated Circuit Breaker’s with Overcurrent protection (RCBO’s) can also be fitted, which do the job of both RCD’s and MCB’s.

In the event of an electrical fault, the RCD, MCB or RCBO will instantly ‘trip’ cutting power and are easily reactivated with the built-in switch.

Old fuses cut power by melting fuse wire and severing the connection, not as fast as new fuses and a fire risk.

If you have an old fuse box or dated consumer unit, let us come over and give you a free quote for an upgrade.
