A fuse box change is a small job with a large effect. Swap an old board for a modern consumer unit and every circuit in the house gains a safety switch that cuts the power in a fraction of a second if something goes wrong, which is the difference between a shock and a serious one.
In Worthing we see the same boards over and over. Wooden-backed units with rewireable fuses in the older terraces around Tarring and Broadwater. Plastic boards from the eighties and nineties with a single trip covering everything, so one faulty kettle takes out the whole house. Both work, right up until the moment they need to do something they were never designed to do.
A replacement is usually a single day. We test the existing circuits first, because a new board will find faults an old one tolerated, and we tell you what we find before we commit you to anything. The new unit gets surge protection, a safety switch on every circuit and clear labelling, and the whole installation is tested and certified.
Tested before we swap
The existing circuits are tested first. A new board finds faults an old one hid, and you should hear about those before the day, not during it.
A safety switch per circuit
One fault takes out one circuit, not the whole house. No more resetting everything in the dark.
Surge protection included
Protection against supply surges as standard, which matters more now every room has electronics in it.
Labelled properly
Every way clearly marked, so anyone can find the right switch without guessing.
Your questions, answered
How much does a fuse box replacement cost in Worthing?
It depends on the number of circuits and what the pre-change testing finds. We test first, tell you what is there, then give one fixed price. If a circuit needs work before the new board goes on, you will know beforehand.
How long does it take?
Usually a single day, with the power off for part of it. We will tell you roughly which parts of the day so you can plan around it.
Do I have to replace my fuse box?
Not by law, if it is working and safe. But an old board with no safety switch is the single biggest gap in most older Worthing homes, and it is the cheapest meaningful safety improvement you can make.
Will you find other problems?
Sometimes. A modern board is more sensitive and will show up faults an old one tolerated. That is why we test first: so anything found is priced and agreed before we start, not sprung on you.
