Modern Fuseboards & Surge Protection
Still running on a fuseboard from 1985? You’re not alone. Many homes across Selby and Goole are still relying on outdated consumer units that lack the protections modern systems offer.
What Are RCBOs?
RCBOs (Residual Current Breakers with Overcurrent protection) combine the functions of both an RCD and an MCB into a single device.
Why it matters:
- If a fault occurs in a single circuit (e.g. a socket or light), only that circuit trips
- No full-house blackouts
- Faster fault identification
This means more safety, less disruption, and better protection for you and your property.
Why Add Surge Protection?
Modern homes are full of sensitive devices — smart TVs, routers, laptops, EV chargers, and more. A Surge Protection Device (SPD) shields your entire home from spikes caused by things like lightning or grid switching.
Benefits:
- Protects expensive electronics
- Complies with modern wiring standards
- Low-cost addition for peace of mind
Why Fuseboard Upgrades Are Worth It
Upgrading isn’t just about passing inspection — it’s about:
- ✅ Reducing fire risk
- ✅ Preparing your home for future tech (like EV chargers or heat pumps)
- ✅ Bringing wiring up to 18th Edition standards
- ✅ Peace of mind for you, your family, or your tenants
