Many homes are without updated fuseboards and have insufficient protection at the board. Renewing the fuseboard, to one that includes RCD protection, has a number of benefits, the most important being safety in your home. Another regular issue that we come across is that of lack of earthing, which is paramount to any electrical installation and ensures correct operation of the RCD.
When selling a home in France, you will be required to have a diagnostic report carried out. The electrical section of the diagnostic report is only a visual assessment. Nothing is tested. The diagnostic report is not a guarantee that the current installation is safe and adheres to French Normes. Faulty sockets, light switches and loose cabling can be identified, but nothing determines if the install is compliant. Walls and plaster boarding can often hide non-compliant cabling.
Rewires: Update old installations, replace/install fuseboards, replace old cabling, additions, earth rods & testing
New installations: Install new fuseboards and new circuits, additions, earth rods & testing
Repairs: Changing broken sockets and switches, replace old light fittings, re-fit cables, earth rods & testing
Lighting: Lighting Design throughout your home, low voltage or energy efficient [spots], additional lighting switches, sockets
Other: Smoke alarms, extractor fans, shaver sockets/mirror lights, electric radiators/towel rails, alarms & CCTV
