In the UK many homes are still equipped with an old style fuse box.
System Electrics highly recommend that you upgrade your old fuse box for a new style consumer unit providing better safety to your property.
A consumer unit is the “fuse box” that lies between the electricity meter box and your home’s electrical circuits.
Present-day units do not house fuses, but miniature circuit breakers (MCBs). Current fuse boxes also contain an extra protective layer known an residual-current device (RCD).
When there is an electrical issue the residual-current device cuts the electrical power to the affected circuit. Older circuit boards should be upgraded to facilitate current safety measures.
Domestic Electrical Rewires
Rewiring a home is a tricky task as the cables are usually buried in the walls and under the floor boards. However it’s recommended that electrical cables are replaced every 25 years. With years of experience we can make this big job not intrusive and we aim complete a rewire within 2 days, depending on the size of the property.
Old sub-standard wiring can result in fires and electric shocks due to deterioration of the wires. We can remove these hazards by rewiring your home removing any risks and ensuring all electrical components are current and certified.

Mains-Powered Smoke Detectors
Residential smoke alarms are essential for keeping your family safe from fire or smoke inhalation. When planning how many smoke detectors you need to consider the house layout that will safeguard your home and family.
It is recommend that a smoke alarm is fitted on every level of a home, including all bedrooms and the lower floors.
Avoid hot areas where a fire alarm can be activated tripped such as kitchen stoves and showers.
System Electrics install mains-powered smoke alarms on an electrical circuit, this brings piece of mind that the smoke alarm is 100% activated. If you experience a power cut a secondary power source cuts in powered by a 9 volt battery.
