Describe what you see
When might you need this service?
You do not need to diagnose the installation yourself.
You want to cook with electricity
A renovation brings new equipment
What the electrician checks01 02
Understand the work before you agree.
Start with how you use electricity
The right circuits and protective devices depend on the building, existing wiring and your equipment. Age alone does not determine whether replacement is needed.
Agree the complete scope
Ask what will be replaced, what remains and whether existing cables or the supply need attention. Replacing the box requires a planned interruption to power.
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 replacement.
You can call if your situation is different.
Must every old fuse box be replaced?
No. Its condition, protection and required capacity need to be assessed, not its age alone.
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.
