Does my fuse box need to be replaced?
When should I replace my fuse box? This is a question that many people have. You have come to the right place. A new fuse box is an essential part of the electrical system in your home. It ensures the correct distribution of electricity to different circuits and protects you from overloads and short circuits . There are several indicators that may indicate that it is time to replace your fuse box.
If you notice that the fuses or fuses in your existing distribution box are blowing regularly, this could be a sign of overload. It could also be that your old distribution box does not have enough groups to meet your electrical needs. You will then need to replace your meter box .
Other signs are outdated technology, damaged wiring or if you are planning to make future extensions and want to install additional electrical appliances, such as electric hobs and other electrical equipment. A professional electrician from Willemsen will be happy to help you. We can replace and extend your outdated fuse box based on your wishes. Please note that an earth leakage circuit breaker is crucial for the safety of your electrical installation and that an old fuse box often does not have one.

A 1 phase or 3 phase distribution box
When replacing a distribution box, you need to make a well-considered choice: do you want a 1-phase or 3-phase distribution box? Which new distribution box you choose depends on your electricity connection and the expected energy consumption in your home. Usually, a 1-phase distribution box is sufficient for a normal home. A 3-phase distribution box is mainly used in companies and homes with a large electricity requirement.
So if you have a large house, use a lot of electrical appliances or want to install heavy equipment, a 3 phase distribution box may be necessary. You can then use a ceramic hob, heat pump, charging station, electric hob and new kitchen appliances in your new kitchen without any problems. This offers more power and distributes the load evenly over three phases, which ensures a stable electricity supply without overload.
To determine which distribution board you need, you need to check which connection your current distribution board has. Keep in mind that a 3-phase distribution board is more expensive than a 1-phase distribution board. So take the time to properly evaluate your needs before making a final decision. You can ask us for advice. We can take on the entire job, from having it inspected to choosing the brand of distribution board to replacing the distribution board.

Replace old fuse box with a modern distribution box
If you still have an old fuse box, it is highly recommended to replace it with a new meter box. An outdated group box does not offer the same level of safety and functionality as a new meter box. They use fuses or porcelain fuses that are sensitive to overheating and fire hazard. So you are better off replacing your meter box.
Unlike fuse boxes, a new meter box has automatic fuses and earth leakage circuit breakers that respond faster and more accurately to overloads or short circuits. This provides better protection. In addition, modern distribution boxes are equipped with useful features, such as earth leakage circuit breakers and the option to add a separate group if necessary. You can replace your distribution box and improve the safety and functionality of your electrical system.
Frequently asked questions about replacing the fuse box.
If your question is not listed, our staff is available day and night.
In many old houses, the distribution boxes are still set to a time when people did not have a dryer or dishwasher. But nowadays we use much more electricity and devices, such as vacuum cleaners, hair dryers and other things. And in the future we will probably use even more electricity, for example by cooking electrically, driving electrically or even generating our own electricity with solar panels. For this we need extra groups. Each electrical 'heavy' device should actually be connected to its own group. Nowadays it is normal for distribution boxes to have 6 to 8, or even 12 groups. But many old houses only have 3. If you have too few groups, the fuses can blow and a short circuit can occur. And that is not only bad for your devices, but also dangerous. So please have your distribution box expanded or even renewed and ask an expert for advice.
Up to 12 groups can be installed in the meter cupboard. This is especially important for large houses with high power consumption. Are you not sure how many groups you need? Feel free to contact us for expert and extensive advice.
Many old houses have an old fuse box that needs replacing. Switches break down and earth leakage circuit breakers get older and no longer work when needed. This can lead to dangerous situations. Our fuse boxes last an average of 25 to 30 years. Do not wait too long to replace your meter box and ensure a safer fuse box.
If you have a 1-phase fuse box in your meter cupboard, the electricity meter will show 220/230V. This means that your connection has a single phase with a current of 25 or 30 amps. But what is a 3-phase connection? With a 3-phase connection, three phase wires of 230V each enter the meter cupboard, together with a neutral wire. These types of connections are larger and deliver more power than 1-phase connections. The 3-phase connections are specifically for heavier appliances such as tumble dryers, electric hobs and saunas.
Replacing a distribution box is a big job. It really requires expertise. The distribution box is the most important point in your home where the power enters and is distributed. No mistakes can be made here. Is it actually allowed to replace a distribution box yourself? Yes, that is allowed, but it is much safer to have this done by a certified installer. And also note that insurance companies sometimes do not reimburse anything if something goes wrong in a distribution box that has not been installed professionally.

Manager
I needed a few new outlets and lights installed in my home office. The technician was friendly and did a great job. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that they arrived about 15 minutes late, but they did call to inform me. Other than that, perfect service.
