Ensuring your garage electrics are safe and up to date is essential. Many garage electrical installations have been neglected over the years, leaving them in poor condition. Faulty or outdated electrics in a garage can be a significant safety hazard, particularly when using power tools or outdoor equipment. As you are likely to be stood on the ground, electric shocks can be much more severe, making it vital to have a properly functioning and modern fuseboard.

1) The Risks of Old Garage Fuseboards
Older garage fuseboards often lack RCD protection, which is a crucial safety feature designed to prevent electric shocks. Without it, you are at greater risk when using electrical equipment, particularly in damp or outdoor environments. An outdated or overloaded fuseboard can also lead to electrical faults, increasing the risk of fire and system failures.
