Fuse boxes and circuits
Protection that fits your installation.
If an RCD (safety switch) may be defective or the fuse box is being changed, an electrician can assess the appropriate replacement and checks after installation.

What the electrician checks01 02
Understand the work before you agree.
Find out what is actually wrong
An RCD that trips is not necessarily defective. A fault in an appliance or circuit can still make a newly installed device trip.
Match the device to the installation
The type and configuration must suit the existing installation. Discuss the required power interruption and checks after the work.
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.

Questions about rcd replacement.
You can call if your situation is different.
Will replacing the RCD fix repeated trips?
Only if assessment shows the device needs replacing. A fault elsewhere in the installation could remain.
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.
