Why a distribution board replacement matters

The distribution board (fuse box/consumer unit) ensures safe power distribution throughout the house or apartment. Older installations are often overloaded, inadequately protected, or no longer meet today’s standards. The consequences can include power outages, equipment damage, or even fire hazards.

Timely replacement not only protects your safety; it also ensures your installation complies with current regulations—important for insurers, authorities, and long-term reliability.

Standards & inspection intervals

We work according to ÖVE/ÖNORM E 8101, which sets the safety requirements for electrical installations in Austria. This ensures your installation is up to date both technically and legally after the replacement.

Repeat inspections are also defined in the standards:

• Private apartments & single-family homes: usually every 10 years

• Heavily used installations (e.g., construction sites, event venues): annually

We’ll advise you on the correct interval for your installation—and can remind you of upcoming inspections on request.
