By Adam Brown • September 8, 2025
Few things are more unsettling than suddenly losing power in your Cork home during the night. The familiar hum of appliances goes silent, screens go dark, and you're left wondering what happened and what to do next. While power outages are common in Cork, especially during winter storms, knowing how to respond safely can make all the difference between a minor inconvenience and a dangerous situation.

Upgrading Your Fuse Board: Why It's Essential for Cork Homes Built Before 2000

By Adam Brown • September 1, 2025
Cork's charming residential landscape is filled with character-rich homes built before 2000. While these properties carry unique architectural appeal, many harbor outdated electrical systems that no longer meet modern safety standards. At the heart of these concerns lies the humble fuse board – the central control hub for your home's electricity. For Cork homeowners with older properties in areas like Douglas , Blackrock, and Montenotte, upgrading this critical component isn't just a home improvement project – it's an essential safety measure. With increasing energy demands from modern appliances and Ireland's updated electrical regulations (IS 10101:2020), older fuse boards simply weren't designed to handle today's electrical requirements. This guide explores why upgrading your fuse board is crucial for Cork homes built before 2000, what benefits you can expect, and how to find the right professional for the job. Left: Outdated fuse board commonly found in pre-2000 Cork homes. Right: Modern consumer unit with RCD protection.
