What Does the Circuit Board Do?

The circuit board, more formally known as a consumer unit, is the central hub of your property’s electrical system. It distributes electricity to different circuits throughout a home and includes safety mechanisms such as RCDs (residual current devices) and circuit breakers. These are designed to trip or shut off power if detecting faults, preventing overheating, fire and electrical shocks.

Our electricians in Tunbridge Wells attend properties where an overloaded or outdated board is struggling to cope with modern electrical demands.

We deliver a responsive service and attend to your needs quickly.

Why Does the Circuit Board Keep Tripping?

When your circuit board trips frequently, it is a clear indication that something isn’t quite right, and that you will need a local electrician to look at the issue.

Common causes include:

  • Faulty Domestic Appliances
  • Overloaded Circuits
  • Short Circuits
  • Ground Faults
  • Deteriorated or Outdated Wiring

An issue is not just about annoyance. These faults are dangerous should they be left unchecked. If you live or work in Tunbridge Wells and face any of the issues listed, calling in our qualified electricians will be the safest step forward.

How Electricians Can Help

JNS Electrical & Building Services Ltd has electricians who follow a systematic approach to fault-finding and repairs. First, we perform thorough inspections to identify the exact causes of the tripping. We can use testing equipment to check each circuit, isolate the problem area and determine whether an issue lies with an appliance, with the wiring, or with the consumer board itself.

Once diagnosed, our electricians recommend the best course of action, be it rewiring a property, replacing faulty breakers or upgrading a consumer unit entirely. All work is carried out in compliance with the latest wiring regulations.

We understand the challenges that older properties in Tunbridge Wells can present and are equipped to work on period homes as well as new builds.
