Fuse Board Installations and Upgrades in Burntwood
Trusted Experts for Fuse Board Installations and Upgrades in Burntwood
MAKSE Electrical and Renewables provides professional fuse board installations and upgrades to homeowners and businesses in Burntwood. Electrical safety in Burntwood matters to us and we bring that commitment to every job we take on. Burntwood is a large residential town built primarily during the post-war era. The majority of its housing stock dates from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s — a period when electrical systems were designed for far simpler household demands. Many Burntwood homes are still running on the same consumer units that were installed all those decades ago. The world has changed dramatically since then. Today’s households run on a completely different scale — smart heating, multiple TVs, fast broadband, home offices, EV chargers, and solar systems. An original post-war fuse board was never designed to handle any of that. If your Burntwood home falls into this category, an upgrade isn’t just advisable — it’s overdue. We make the process simple, safe, and fully certified from start to finish.

How Our Fuse Board Installation Process Works?
We’ve designed our process to be clear, stress-free, and transparent from the very first call to the final sign-off. Here’s exactly what happens when you choose MAKSE Electrical and Renewables:
Detailed On-Site Assessment
We attend your Burntwood property and conduct a thorough inspection of your existing consumer unit and electrical installation. We examine condition, age, compliance, and capacity — giving you a frank and honest picture of exactly where things stand. No obligation, no pressure.
Honest Recommendation
Every Burntwood property is different. Based on our findings, we’ll recommend the right consumer unit for your home’s specific needs. We’ll explain the options clearly — including the difference between a standard RCD board and an advanced RCBO configuration — in straightforward, jargon-free language.
Professional Installation
Our NAPIT-approved electricians carry out the complete installation at your Burntwood property. Your old board is safely removed and disposed of. The new consumer unit is installed and wired to the full requirements of BS 7671 IET Wiring Regulations. We take care and keep your home tidy throughout.
Full Circuit Testing
Once the new fuse board is fitted, we test every circuit in your Burntwood home individually. Each protection device is checked and confirmed operational. Nothing is signed off until everything passes — this is the step that matters most and we never rush it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are so many Burntwood homes in need of fuse board upgrades?
Burntwood developed significantly in the post-war decades, which means a large proportion of the town’s housing was built between the 1950s and 1970s. Consumer units from that era are now 50 or more years old — well beyond their expected lifespan and completely lacking the RCD protection that modern safety standards require. It’s one of the most common electrical issues we see in Burntwood.
How long does a fuse board installation take in Burntwood?
The majority of domestic Burntwood fuse board installations are completed within a single visit. Most jobs take between 4 and 6 hours from start to certified finish. We’ll confirm a specific timeframe when we provide your quote so you can plan around it without uncertainty.
What's the difference between RCD and RCBO protection?
An RCD (Residual Current Device) protects groups of circuits together. If one circuit develops a fault, everything on that group trips. An RCBO (Residual Current Breaker with Overload) gives each circuit its own individual protection — so a fault on one circuit only affects that circuit, leaving the rest of your Burntwood home fully powered. We’ll advise which is best suited to your property.
As a Burntwood landlord, when do I need to act after a failed EICR?
UK regulations require all remedial works identified on an EICR to be completed within 28 days of the report being issued, or before a new tenancy begins — whichever comes first. If your Burntwood rental property has received an unsatisfactory report, contact us immediately. We prioritise landlord compliance work and can act quickly to keep your property legally lettable.

Yes — completely. Every fuse board installation and upgrade we carry out in Burntwood is backed by a full workmanship guarantee. If any issue arises from our work at your Burntwood property, we’ll return and resolve it at absolutely no additional cost. That’s our commitment to every Burntwood customer.
