Electrical Panel Installation in Focșani

About this service

A properly installed consumer unit gives you real protection, not just the appearance of safety. The electrician separates circuits so that a fault at one socket doesn't leave the whole house without power, fits a 30 mA residual current device to protect people, selects breakers sized to the cable cross-section rather than to the desired load, and tightens every connection to the specified torque, because a loose terminal heats up and becomes dangerous over time. At handover, the board is labelled and accompanied by a schematic, so any future work can be done quickly and safely.

What to check before hiring a electrical panel installation

Request separate quotes for labour and components — the quality of the protective devices matters a great deal
Choose components from established manufacturers; the price difference is small relative to the risk
Insist on a 30 mA RCD being fitted, even if the old installation didn't have one
Ask for every circuit to be clearly labelled and for a board schematic at handover
Check that each major appliance — hob, oven, boiler, air conditioning — has its own dedicated circuit
Request the test certificate with insulation resistance and earth electrode measurements

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I replace a breaker myself?

It isn't advisable. Even though the operation looks simple, working in the board requires correctly identifying the circuit, choosing a rating matched to the cable cross-section, and tightening connections to the right torque. An oversized breaker lets the cable overheat without tripping, which is exactly the scenario that starts fires.

What does it mean that my board is undersized?

It means the number of circuits or the rating of the protective devices no longer matches your actual appliances. Many homes built decades ago have 4–6 circuits, insufficient for a washing machine, electric oven, hob, air conditioning, and boiler. The result is repeated tripping and overheating connections.

Does the wiring need replacing when I replace the board?

Not always. If existing circuits have adequate cross-section and the insulation is sound, a new board can be fitted to the existing wiring. The electrician will measure insulation resistance first, though, and if values are poor or the cables are old aluminium, the correct recommendation is to rewire.

What is earthing and why does it matter at the board?

Earthing conducts fault currents to ground, allowing protective devices to trip quickly. Without a functioning earth electrode, the RCD cannot do its job in every situation. During installation, the electrician measures the earth electrode resistance, and the value must fall within regulatory limits.

How should circuits be grouped in a properly designed board?

The basic rule is separation by function: distinct circuits for lighting, for room sockets, for the kitchen, for the bathroom, and a dedicated circuit for each major appliance — hob, oven, washing machine, air conditioning, boiler. That way a fault affects only one area rather than the whole home.

Do I receive documentation after installation?

You should. Ask for the board schematic with numbered circuits, the test certificate with measured values — insulation resistance and earth electrode resistance — and the labour warranty. These documents are useful for any future work and may be requested by your insurer.
