Electrician4you are your local electrical contractors around St Helens , Warrington and all the north west areas. If you are looking for " a local electrician near me"? then we are 4you. Today we have carried out another fuse board replacement in St Helens this week. Not a lot out of the ordinary with this one jut a simple fuse box replacement due to having no rcd protection on there old fuse board. Also we have upgraded the main water and gas earth cables to 10mm as per todays regulations. We carry out many fuse board replacements in St Helens and surrounding areas for various reasons, ie house improvements, new kitchen electrics etc. This fuse board replacement in St Helens today was actually because our client was due to have an electric vehicle charge point added and the current fuse board was not updated enough so it was flagged up on the pre survey. we are also qualified in electric vehicle charges and we are seeing this issue with the fuse boards more and more nowadays as the electric cars keep rolling in. One thing we did notice today though, even though the house tested electrically sound and all was good it was really noticeable as to how soft the copper was in the cables compared to todays cables, it was roughly a 1970s installation.
we have no more fuse board replacements left this week but we do have a weekend of office lighting ahead of us swapping the old tube box lighting for energy efficient led panels. 190 units to be fitted. Its going to be a long few weeks but its great to be busy i guess.
