Fuse Box Upgrade Swap Plymouth – This Is My Profession
Working this week on a double electrical consumer unit swap over to the latest edition safety-compliant equipment, including AFDD, SPD, RCBO, Type A – SORTED.
If you’re looking for a professional Fuse Box Upgrade Swap Plymouth, Dave Prout Electrician provides safe, compliant, and modern consumer unit upgrades for homes across Plymouth and surrounding areas. This is my profession, and every installation is carried out with safety, workmanship, and long-term reliability as the top priorities.
AI Overview – Fuse Box Upgrade Swap Plymouth
A fuse box upgrade swap replaces outdated fuse boards with modern metal-clad consumer units fitted with RCBO protection, Type A RCD monitoring for AC and DC fault currents, surge protection devices (SPD), and AFDD arc fault detection where required. These upgrades significantly reduce the risk of electrical fires, electric shock, and damage caused by voltage surges.
Many older properties in Plymouth still rely on rewireable fuses or early RCD systems. A professional Fuse Box Upgrade Swap Plymouth ensures your electrical installation meets the latest BS 7671 wiring regulations and is suitable for modern electrical demands.

Extra Double Socket for Broadband
AI Overview
This electrical installation involved adding an extra double socket inside a cupboard to power broadband equipment discreetly. A new dedicated circuit protected by a 16amp RCBO was installed, using surface-mounted wiring to avoid wall chasing. The result is a safe, compliant, and tidy solution that keeps networking equipment out of sight while minimising disruption.
Extra Double Socket Installed for Broadband Equipment
We recently completed a practical electrical installation for a client who required an additional double socket inside a cupboard to power their broadband connection equipment neatly and out of the way.
To ensure safety and reliability, a new dedicated circuit was installed and protected by a 16amp RCBO. The circuit was wired using 2.5mm cable, supported in mini trunking, and finished into a surface-mounted double back box.
The client specifically requested that no walls be chased due to the mess and disruption this can cause. A surface-mounted conduit and trunking solution was therefore used, which worked perfectly within the cupboard space while still providing a clean and professional finish.
This type of installation is ideal for broadband and networking equipment where practicality, compliance, and minimal disruption are key requirements.

Modern Fuse Board Upgrade – Full Dual-Fuel Economy 7 Replacement in Plymouth
Modern Fuse Board Upgrade – Full Dual-Fuel Economy 7 Replacement in Plymouth
Need a safe, modern fuse board installed? Call Dave Prout Electrician today on 07874 079458 or WhatsApp +44 7418 633868. No VAT – friendly, reliable, and fully qualified for domestic electrical upgrades.
AI Overview – Dual-Fuel Fuse Board Replacement
This blog explains how an old fuse-wire consumer unit supplying both daytime circuits and night-time Economy 7 heaters was replaced with a modern dual-fuel compliant FuseBox board. The system keeps full Economy 7 function using a specialised double-pole dual-fuel isolator, two separate neutral bars, and dedicated busbars to maintain tariff separation and maximise safety.
Replacing an Old Dual-Fuel Fuse-Wire Board
Many older properties in Plymouth still rely on fuse-wire boards that combine normal daytime electrics with Economy 7 night-rate heating circuits. These older boards often contain:
- Rewirable fuses
- Outdated breaker technology
- No RCD protection
- No surge protection device (SPD)
- Poor separation between normal supply and night-rate supply
Today’s modern electrical standards require safer, faster, and more reliable protection. That's exactly what this upgrade achieved.
Maintaining Economy 7 Dual Fuel Function
Many homeowners worry that changing the fuse board will affect their Economy 7 heating schedule. But don’t worry — with the correct setup, the system works exactly as before.
For this installation, I fitted a special dual-fuel double isolator designed for properties that have:
- Daytime standard tariff circuits
- Night-time Economy 7 heating circuits
The isolator feeds into a modern FuseBox consumer unit configured with:
- Two separate neutral bars (one for each tariff)
- Two separate busbars to safely divide the two supplies
- RCBO protection on every circuit
- SPD (surge protection device)
- Metal enclosure compliant with BS7671
This ensures the property continues using cheaper off-peak electricity at night for storage heaters and hot water, just as before — but now with modern electrical safety.
Why a Fuse Board Upgrade Matters
Here are the main reasons customers choose to upgrade:
- Improved safety – RCD/RCBOs detect faults instantly
- Reduced fire risk – metal enclosure meets modern regulations
- Accurate circuit separation – essential for dual-fuel systems
- Surge protection – protects appliances from voltage spikes
- Easier maintenance – no fuse wires to replace
Before and After: Massive Improvement
The old dual-fuel board was outdated and offered no modern protection. The new FuseBox board delivers:
- Full circuit labelling
- Improved load organisation
- Correct tariff separation
- Up-to-date BS7671 compliance
Serving Plymouth with Affordable Fuse Board Upgrades
As a local Plymouth electrician, I specialise in safe, clean fuse board replacements. No VAT, transparent pricing, and tidy workmanship on every job.
If you're unsure about the condition of your own fuse board, just get in touch and I’ll happily take a look.

USB Socket addition Plympton
USB Socket Upgrade — Plympton
Recently I completed a tidy little socket upgrade for a client in Plympton. They wanted an additional power point on the opposite side of their lounge to power an ornament and some USB mood lighting without trailing extension leads.
What I fitted
I supplied and fitted a modern double switched socket with both USB‑A and USB‑C charging ports. That gives the household fast, convenient charging for phones, lamps and small devices — all from the wall plate with no adapters or messy leads.
Work carried out
- Neat positioning to match existing décor
- Secure mounting and cable run concealed where possible
- Full safety testing on completion
- Site left clean and tidy with no damage to decoration
Why choose this upgrade?
Integrated USB sockets remove the need for bulky adapters and give reliable charging at the wall. They’re an excellent, low‑cost improvement for lounges, bedrooms and home office spaces — especially where modern USB‑C devices are used.
If you’d like an extra socket, a USB upgrade or any small electrical improvement in Plympton or Plymouth, give me a call or drop a WhatsApp message — happy to advise and arrange a time that suits you.
All work completed to current regulations and fully tested. #electricalsafety

Call 07874 079458 WhatsAppAI Overview — Why fit a timer switch?
Electronic Timer Switch Installation Plymouth delivers automated control of hallway and stair lighting. Timer switches like the Ellipse KM2 (pictured) keep lights on for a set period after the button is pressed, then switch them off automatically — saving electricity, extending lamp life and improving safety.
Ideal for communal corridors, flats and domestic staircases, a professional Electronic Timer Switch Installation Plymouth ensures correct wiring, safe connections and compliance with BS 7671 wiring regulations.
What is an electronic timer switch?
An electronic timer switch is a small control device fitted into the lighting circuit that activates lights for a preset period. A simple press of the push-button starts the timer and your hallway stays lit for the chosen time. When the timer expires the lights automatically switch off. This single upgrade — Electronic Timer Switch Installation Plymouth — prevents lights being left on all day.
How the installation works
A typical Electronic Timer Switch Installation Plymouth involves replacing the existing switch mechanism with the timer module, wiring the live, switched live and neutral to the correct terminals, and programming the on-time. We test the circuit and confirm safe operation. Most jobs are completed in under an hour for domestic hallways.
Benefits of Electronic Timer Switch Installation Plymouth
- Energy savings: reduces unnecessary usage from lights left on.
- Safety: maintains light in stairwells and access routes for the required time.
- Longer lamp life: reduces constant on/off wear and tear.
- Cost effective: quick payback from lower energy bills.
- Compliance: installed to BS 7671 standards by a qualified electrician.
Where we recommend using timer switches
Timer switches are perfect for hallways, stairwells in flats, communal corridors, garages and utility areas. For household use, a professional Electronic Timer Switch Installation Plymouth ensures wiring safety and correct timer settings for the property’s needs.
Types of timer switches
We install electronic push-button timers (like the Ellipse KM2), PIR motion timers and programmable digital timers depending on client needs. For a classic solution that gives predictable on-time control, choose an electronic push-button timer — a common choice in our Electronic Timer Switch Installation Plymouth jobs.

Dimplex QM100RF Smart Night Storage Heater Installation in Plymouth
Dimplex QM100RF Smart Night Storage Heater Installation in Plymouth
Last week, Dave Prout Electrician Plymouth had the pleasure of installing one of the latest and most efficient storage heaters available on the market today – the Dimplex QM100RF 230v Smart Night Storage Heater.

The Dimplex QM100RF is part of the Dimplex Quantum range, which is widely regarded as the most advanced storage heater available in the UK today. It’s designed to take advantage of off-peak electricity tariffs, storing heat during cheaper overnight hours and releasing it efficiently throughout the day.
- Smart Control: Built-in RF (radio frequency) control links to the Dimplex Hub and smartphone app for full smart home integration.

Rental EICR Electrical Installation Condition Reports Plymouth
Rental EICR Electrical Installation Condition Reports Plymouth
Are you a landlord in Plymouth looking for a Rental EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report)? I’m Dave Prout Electrician Plymouth, an independent, VAT-free local electrician specialising in electrical testing and inspection. Based in Prince Rock, I provide affordable, reliable, and fully compliant EICR testing across Plymouth and the surrounding areas. Call me today on 07874 079458 or WhatsApp me on +44 7418 633868 to book your EICR and keep your property compliant with BS7671 regulations.
What is a Rental EICR?
A Rental EICR stands for Electrical Installation Condition Report. It is a formal document produced after the inspection and testing of a rental property’s electrical system. The purpose is to ensure that the electrical installation is safe, compliant, and fit for continued use. Under UK law, landlords are required to have a valid EICR in place for their rental properties, ensuring tenant safety and compliance with the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS7671).
Why is an EICR Necessary for Rental Properties in Plymouth?
- Legal Requirement – Since 2020, landlords must have an EICR carried out at least every 5 years, or at change of tenancy.
- Tenant Safety – Faulty wiring and unsafe electrics are one of the biggest risks in rental homes. An EICR ensures issues are identified and fixed before accidents happen.
- Insurance Compliance – Most insurers now insist on a valid EICR. Without one, your cover could be invalid if something goes wrong.
- Peace of Mind – A professional inspection gives landlords reassurance that their property meets all current standards.
What Does an EICR Include?
When I carry out a Rental EICR in Plymouth, I check:
- The condition of consumer units (fuseboards) – ensuring they meet current regulations, including RCD and RCBO protection.
- Wiring condition – testing insulation resistance, continuity, and identifying any deterioration or damage.
- Earthing and bonding – confirming that protective conductors are adequate and safe.
- Sockets, lights, switches, and accessories – checking for damage, overheating, or poor installation.
- Testing safety devices – such as RCDs, which protect against electric shock.
At the end of the inspection, you will receive a written EICR report that clearly outlines whether the installation is “Satisfactory” or “Unsatisfactory” along with a coding system for any issues (C1, C2, C3, FI).
What Happens if My Property Fails the EICR?
If your Plymouth rental property fails its EICR, don’t worry – I provide clear, practical advice on the remedial work required. I can carry out the necessary repairs and re-test the system, ensuring your property is brought up to standard quickly and affordably.
Why Choose Dave Prout Electrician Plymouth for Your Rental EICR?

- VAT-Free Pricing – Because I’m not VAT-registered, landlords save 20% instantly on testing costs.
- Fully Compliant – All inspections are carried out to the BS7671 18th Edition Wiring Regulations.
- Fast Turnaround – Most reports are issued within 48 hours of testing.
- Experienced and Trusted – With years of experience in both domestic and rental property electrics, I provide honest, reliable advice.
- Friendly and Professional – Tenants appreciate a polite, respectful tradesman who works cleanly and efficiently.
SEO Overview: Rental EICR Plymouth
Searching for Rental EICR Plymouth, Electrical Installation Condition Report Plymouth, or Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate Plymouth? You’ve found the right place. As Plymouth’s trusted electrician, I help landlords stay compliant, safe, and hassle-free.
Real-World Example: Consumer Units in Day and Night Tariff Properties
Many Plymouth rental homes still use dual tariff boards – a day board and a night board. The image below shows a typical setup, where I added clear inspection labels and future test dates.
Part of an EICR is checking whether these older-style boards still meet today’s safety standards, including RCD protection for sockets, bathrooms, and outdoor circuits. Where they fall short, I’ll recommend practical upgrades.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a Rental EICR in Plymouth?
Every 5 years, or sooner if there is a change of tenancy.
How much does an EICR cost in Plymouth?
Costs vary depending on property size, but my pricing is VAT-free, making it more affordable than many larger firms. Call me for a free quote.

10.5kW Electric Shower Upgrade in Plymouth – More Power, Better Showers
10.5kW Electric Shower Upgrade in Plymouth – More Power, Better Showers
At Dave Prout Electrician Plymouth, we were recently called out to a customer who was frustrated with their old shower setup. The existing unit was only a 7.5kW electric shower, fed by a 6mm cable and protected by a 32amp breaker. The result? A weak, underpowered trickle of water that just didn’t deliver the showering experience they wanted.
After a detailed inspection and consultation, the customer decided to upgrade to a much more powerful 10.5kW electric shower. This required a full system upgrade to safely and efficiently handle the increased power demand.
What the Upgrade Involved
- Removal of the old 7.5kW shower and all related fittings
- New 10mm twin & earth cable installed to safely carry the higher load
- 50amp pull cord isolator switch fitted for safe operation
- 50amp protective device (MCB/RCBO) fitted in the consumer unit
- Installation of a brand new 10.5kW Mira electric shower (pictured above)
- Full testing, inspection, and certification of the new circuit
Why Upgrade to 10.5kW?
Many households start with smaller 7.5kW or 8.5kW electric showers, but these can often feel underpowered. By upgrading to 10.5kW, customers benefit from:
- Stronger water flow for a more refreshing shower
- Improved hot water performance, especially in colder months
- Modern safety features with up-to-date cabling and protection
- Reliable performance thanks to professional installation and certification
Installation Time
The full system upgrade, including cable, isolator, protective device, and shower installation, was completed in just one day. The customer now enjoys a powerful, reliable showering experience with peace of mind that their installation meets the latest standards.
Thinking About an Electric Shower Upgrade?
If your shower feels weak, trickles, or struggles to heat water, it may be underpowered or on undersized wiring. Upgrading to a modern 10.5kW shower with the correct cabling and protection can transform your bathroom.
