Devices left on standby still draw power—TVs, routers, chargers—they can eat into your bill. UK households waste around £55 annually this way. Turn things off at the socket!
Electricity costs about three times more than gas per unit. Use plug-in heaters only for small, short-term heating—not to replace central heating.
Smart meters show usage but don’t save energy themselves—you have to act on the data. That's where we come in: we help find and fix issues behind the scenes.
With LEDs, switching them off actually saves energy. So flick them off when you leave the room—simple and effective.
Cheap LEDs may flicker or degrade quicker and consume more power than advertised. Stick to reputable, certified brands for quality and savings.
Older fuse boxes may lack modern safety features like RCDs. Upgrading your panel ensures you’re protected from newer faults.
Not unless you're funding energy companies—you’ll save more using timers and thermostats to heat only when needed.

If your fuse box hums like your gran’s old telly and looks more retro than chic, you’re due an upgrade. Dive in for some safety facts and a bit of banter.
Old-school fuse boxes with rewirable fuses need you to physically replace wires when there's a fuse blow. That’s not safety; it’s a Health & Safety return to the Stone Age. Modern boards use MCBs and protective devices—no wire-fiddling needed.
Under the PRS Electrical Safety Standards, outdated boards won’t pass an EICR. No passing inspection = no rent. And landlords? You might be fined or blocked from re-letting. It’s your responsibility to ensure tenants aren’t living next to a makeshift hazard.
Your board must comply with BS 7671 and have residual current protection (RCD or RCBO). These protect against earth faults and improve safety. Your EICR will flag anything missing or unsafe—and you’ll need it sorted within 28 days.
Check our Fuse Box Replacement service — starting from £250. That includes a tidy fit, certification, and all the necessary paperwork.
No jokes—these are warning signs. If you’ve got one or more, you’re playing with fire (literally). Give us a call on 07837 184 672 to sort it before it sorts itself.
