New kitchen equipment
Fuse boxes and circuits
Make room for another electrical circuit.
A new kitchen or more equipment may need additional circuits. We discuss whether your existing fuse box (consumer unit) has enough space and suitable protection.
- Space and condition of the existing box
- Power needed by the equipment
- Route to the connection point

What the electrician checks01 02
Understand the work before you agree.
Check whether expansion is practical
Available space, existing layout and protection all matter. In some homes the current box can be expanded; elsewhere a different approach may be more suitable.
Include the route to the appliance
A position in the box is only part of the job. The cable route, outlet or connection point and wall finish also need to be considered.
For homes in the Netherlands
Plan the interruption and access
In Dutch homes, the consumer unit is called a groepenkast and is often in the meter cupboard. Tell us if the cupboard is shared, if essential equipment must stay powered, and which new appliances you plan to use.
Work on the network connection or sealed meter may involve your grid operator; describe the existing setup so responsibilities can be clarified.
Start with a few details

Questions about fuse box expansion.
You can call if your situation is different.
Is expanding always cheaper than replacing?
Not necessarily. The existing box and extent of the changes determine the practical option.
Do I need to know what caused the problem?
No. Tell us what stopped working, when it started and whether it affects a room or the entire property. Do not open the fuse box or try to repair exposed wiring yourself.
Is my online request a confirmed booking?
No. We contact you to discuss the job, expected timing, availability and costs. An appointment is confirmed only after you agree.
I rent my apartment. Who should I contact?
You can describe the problem to us, but also tell your landlord or property manager. For work in shared parts of a building, access and permission may need to be arranged.
