Do I need to replace my old fuse box?
Not always. If it still has rewireable fuses (the wire-in-a-carrier type), no RCD protection, or a plastic casing under a staircase, it's worth upgrading. A lot of Budleigh Salterton homes (older stone and render, many holiday lets) still have boards from the 1980s or older. An electrician can test it first and tell you honestly.

Can I swap old storage heaters and the Economy 7 box in Budleigh Salterton?
Yes. Many Budleigh Salterton homes still have two boards, one for off-peak heaters. An electrician can merge them into one modern board and wire panel heaters or new storage heaters. It counts as notifiable work, so use a registered firm and get the certificate. Typical cost here is £620.
Who signs off fuse box replacement work in Budleigh Salterton?
Your electrician, if they're on a scheme like NICEIC. They test the work, issue an Electrical Installation Certificate and notify East Devon District Council building control. Hiring someone who isn't registered means paying the council to inspect it, which costs far more.

Call 105, free from any phone. That goes to National Grid (South West), who look after the lines in EX9. It isn't an electrician's job if the neighbours are off too. If only your house is off, check the fuse box first, then call an electrician.

You'll be off for most of the 4–6 hrs on site. Run the dishwasher the night before, keep the freezer shut and charge your phone. The electrician should have you back on by late afternoon.
