Kings Heath's charming period properties and 1930s homes in the B14 area often present specific electrical challenges due to their age and original construction. The most common issues we encounter include outdated consumer units (fuse boxes) that lack modern safety features like RCDs, insufficient power outlets for contemporary needs, deteriorated wiring insulation that poses fire risks, overloaded circuits unable to handle modern appliances, and inadequate lighting circuits. Many older properties in Kings Heath also have non-compliant earthing arrangements and mixed wiring systems from various partial upgrades over the decades. Aluminum wiring, sometimes found in properties from the 1960s and 70s in the B14 area, can present special safety concerns due to its higher resistance and tendency to expand and contract. Our electricians specialize in addressing these challenges, implementing modern electrical solutions while preserving the character and features that make Kings Heath's older properties special. We develop tailored approaches for each property, considering its specific architectural features and your requirements to create safe, functional electrical systems that complement the building's heritage.
