The fuse box is the heart of the electrical installation in your home. A modern, well-protected fuse box guards you against short circuits, overload and electric shock. Yet many homes in Amsterdam — especially older buildings — still have an outdated box or one without enough RCDs. VoltFix replaces your fuse box expertly and safely, matched to today's usage.
When is a fuse box replacement needed?
- An old box with wire fuses instead of breakers and RCDs.
- No or too few RCDs — a major safety risk.
- Circuits trip regularly because the box can no longer handle the load.
- Too few circuits for a modern kitchen, bathroom or home office.
- Expansion plans such as solar panels, an EV charger, induction or a heat pump.
What does replacing a fuse box involve?
At VoltFix, replacing a fuse box is a tidy process. We start with an inspection of your current installation and wiring. Together we then decide how many circuits you need and which protection is appropriate. Next we remove the old box, install the new one with the correct RCDs and RCBOs, and connect and label all circuits clearly. Finally we test the whole installation and hand it over safely.
Extend with extra circuits
Modern households ask more and more of the electrical installation. An induction hob, dishwasher, dryer, air conditioning, EV charger or solar panels often need their own circuit. The moment you replace your fuse box is ideal to add extra circuits straight away. That prevents overload and makes you ready for the future. We advise you honestly on how many circuits make sense in your situation.
