Are you due a fuseboard upgrade in Huddersfield? JP Electrical is your local and experienced fuseboard electrician.
1) How do I know if my fuseboard needs upgrading?
There are many reasons why you may need a fuseboard upgrade in Huddersfield. These can range from age and condition of your existing board, to requiring an increase in capacity to allow for renovations and additions to your home.
Let’s take a look at some of the most common reasons to upgrade a fuseboard:
- If you’re frequently experiencing blown fuses or Tripped Circuits
If you’re finding your home is having an increased amount of electrical issues and your fuse box keeps tripping, this could be a sign that your fuseboard needs replacing.
- Increasing the capacity of electrical power in your home
As we’re living in a time where homes are using more electricity and digital appliances - this can overload your fuseboard and therefore cause outages of power. An upgraded fuseboard will be able to handle a higher level of usage, which prevents potentially overloading the fuseboard and increases the general electrical performance of your home.
- If you’re planning home renovations
When your home is undergoing major renovation, this often results in increased power demands which your current fuseboard may not be able to meet.
- Plans to install new technology
If you’re planning on updating your kitchen with all mod cons, adding an EV charger, or maybe buying a hot tub for the garden - your current fuseboard may not be able to handle this higher load.
- To increase the safety of your home
Most importantly, replacing your fuseboard will greatly increase the electrical safety of your Huddersfield home. A new fuseboard can reduce the risk of an electrical fire or an electrical shock taking place in your home and ensures that current safety regulations are being met.
Whilst the older boxes aren’t illegal to have in your home, they do not comply with current electricity or asbestos safety requirements - meaning they wouldn’t be fitted today.

A fuseboard upgrade brings many benefits to you and your Huddersfield home.
Firstly, and most importantly, a modern fuseboard will keep you and your family safe from the risks of electrical shock and fire.
Secondly, updating your system will make the experience of an overload less likely to happen and, should you find yourself in this situation, resetting a circuit breaker is a much easier process than needing to replace a fuse wire in the dark!
A fuse board upgrade will be compatible with modern appliances and lifestyles. This benefits you in the long term. Whether you are a household with higher electricity demands due to working from home or gaming, or if you’re planning to install Electric Vehicle Chargers, upgrading ensures that you have the capacity to handle this without having to endure frequent electrical issues.
