Good to Know
> ⚠️ **This isn't a full electrical certificate:** I'm checking it works and labeling it clearly. For a formal safety inspection (needed for some insurance/mortgages), you need a qualified electrician. **Old fuse boxes:** If you've got an old fuse wire box (not modern circuit breakers), seriously consider upgrading. They're not safe by modern standards. **RCD testing:** Modern boxes have RCD test buttons - I'll show you how to test these monthly like you're supposed to (but nobody does). **Future reference:** Take a photo of the labeled fuse box. Save it on your phone. When the power trips in six months, you'll know where the photo is even if you can't find the paper labels.
Frequently Asked Questions about New home fuse box check in Crediton
Why do I need a fuse box check?
So when something trips, you know which switch to flip and what circuit it controls. Most fuse boxes aren't labeled, or the labels are wrong. Saves you flipping every switch trying to find the right one when the power's out.
What do you actually do?
Test each circuit to see what it powers, label it clearly (Downstairs sockets, Kitchen lights, etc.), check everything's working properly, show you how to reset trips, explain what to do if there's a fault. Takes about half an hour.
Can you tell if the electrics are safe?
I can spot obvious issues (old wiring, damaged switches, overloaded circuits) but for a full electrical safety certificate you'd need a qualified electrician. This is just a basic check and labeling service.
Will you label it so I can understand it?
Yes - in plain English. Not '32A MCB Ring Main' but 'Living Room Sockets' or 'Upstairs Lights'. Labels that actually make sense when you're standing there in the dark trying to find the right switch.
What if something's not working properly?
I'll tell you what I've found and whether it needs an electrician. Some things are simple fixes, some need a professional. Better to know before you move in than discover it two weeks later.
