Frequently asked questions

Is an old fuse box dangerous?

Not automatically. A well-maintained fuse box can work safely, but it lacks the personal protection of a residual-current device, and older panels more often have loose connections and heat damage. The upgrade is about protection level rather than acute danger.

Can I replace the panel myself?

No. Replacing an electrical panel requires certification and must be done by a registered electrical installation company. Incorrect electrical work can also affect your insurance cover.

Can I renegotiate the price because of old wiring?

Yes, as part of a wider negotiation. The panel itself is a limited cost, but in houses where the whole installation is dated the total can be substantial and worth pricing into your bid.
