Why replace your panel
Old panels exhibit several defects that justify replacement:
- No 30 mA personal-protection RCD — fatal risk on insulation faults.
- Old breakers whose breaking capacity no longer matches the Creos service.
- Loose terminals, overheating, carbonisation visible when the cover is removed.
- No labelling — impossible to isolate the right circuit fast in an emergency.
- Saturated: no room to add an EV charger, water heater or new kitchen.
