In need of Fuse board replacement Penge and the surrounding area? Upgrading the fuse box within your home can be a vital task. Here’s what you’ll need to know.

Should You Upgrade?

 Technically speaking, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with your current fuse box. It was designed at the time to be up to spec, based on regulations created at the time. It is technically safe, but it’s also old.

This means that a lot of components will have worn down over time, especially the insulation.

Upgrading

To upgrade, the best thing you can do is to consult with a trained professional. They’ll be able to take down the old fusebox and upgrade you to a new one. If you’re living in a rental property, your landlord will have had to replace obsolete fuse boxes as part of general maintenance.

If your fuse box undergoes an inspection and is found to no longer comply with current safety standards, then it will need to be replaced by law.

Electric vehicles can provide limitless amounts of transportation and might well be the next generation of transport. However, as an industry, it’s important to know what their future is within the UK. What are these types of vehicles destined for?

Overhauling Everything

The government has been encouraging the use of electric vehicles since 2011, and don’t plan on slowing down anytime soon.

They intend on making sure that diesel and petrol cars and vans can’t be sold new from 2030, and at the same time, making sure that from 2035, only fully zero-emission vehicles can be sold.

This will place substantial responsibility on the electric vehicle industry to step up and fill the gap. They’ll be expected to create many of the replacement vehicles, and to do so at a cost which is affordable to many people. The prices for these vehicles are higher than most can afford – they’ll need to come down in the future.

Most landlords are fairly proactive when tenant safety is involved. However, some don’t know enough about what’s expected of them to be proactive, which is a shame.

Let’s talk about what’s expected of you as a landlord.

The Landlord’s Obligations

• – You have to make sure all safety standards are met, according to national guidelines.
• – You have to make sure that all of the electrical components are properly tested at least once every five years.
• – You need to make sure you get the report from whoever did the test, and this report must contain both the results and the date of the next inspection. You then legally have to provide your tenant with said report.
• – If there is a current report, your tenant must have it before they move in.
• – You must provide the report to any tenant if they ask for it within 28 days, and give it to any inspector within 7 days.
