Distribution Board Upgrade Bristol

What is a distribution board?

A distribution board or panel, often referred to as a consumer unit, essentially splits electricity entering the property, from the mains supply,  into a number of smaller circuits. This creates much better control over the electricity supply to the various units or areas in a property.

A benefit of such technology is that only specific areas of a premises will have the electricity supply cut off in the case of an emergency, overload or short circuit, leaving the remaining property functioning as normal.

When should I consider a distribution board upgrade in Bristol?

Like nearly all electrical installations, distribution boards can degrade over time, become less efficient due to wear and tear and have their function compromised by water damage.

As a commercial business owner or building manager, the safety of all visitors at your premises is your responsibility. Damaged distribution boards can increase the risk of hazards such as electrical fires.

Additionally, industry regulations evolve all the time. As qualified electricians, we have an in-depth understanding of how electrical components function and their compatibility with modern appliances. EMC Electrical group recommends distribution boards upgrades as older ones simply cannot cope with the demands of electrical devices in use today.

As mentioned above, modern distribution boards use RCD technology, a key safety feature! RCDs stop any current flowing through circuits during a sudden overload in power.
