Electrical safety is not something any property owner should compromise on. When circuit breakers fail or fuses blow repeatedly, it’s often a warning sign of underlying electrical problems that require immediate professional attention. At Bestcare Facilities Management, we understand the critical importance of maintaining safe and reliable electrical systems in homes, offices, and commercial establishments throughout Nairobi.
Understanding Circuit Breakers and Fuses
Circuit breakers and fuses serve as the first line of defense against electrical overloads, short circuits, and potential fire hazards. While fuses are older technology that must be replaced after they blow, circuit breakers are reusable devices that can be reset after tripping. Both components play essential roles in protecting your property’s electrical infrastructure and the people within it.
Modern electrical systems in Nairobi increasingly rely on circuit breakers due to their convenience and reliability. However, many older properties still use fuse boxes that may require upgrading to meet current safety standards. Our team at Bestcare Facilities Management has extensive experience working with both systems and can advise on the best solutions for your specific needs.
Common Electrical Issues We Resolve
Frequent circuit breaker trips are among the most common complaints we receive from clients across Nairobi. This frustrating problem can stem from various causes, including overloaded circuits, faulty appliances, short circuits, or deteriorating wiring. Our experienced technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment to identify the root cause quickly and implement lasting solutions.
Blown fuses present another frequent challenge, particularly in properties with older electrical installations. While replacing a blown fuse might seem straightforward, repeated failures indicate serious underlying issues that demand professional investigation. Ignoring these warning signs can lead to electrical fires or damage to expensive equipment and appliances.
We also specialize in addressing nuisance tripping, where circuit breakers trip without apparent reason. This problem often involves sensitive electronic equipment, ground fault issues, or aging circuit breakers that have lost their calibration over time. Our systematic approach ensures we identify and resolve even the most elusive electrical gremlins.

Preventive Maintenance Programs
Beyond reactive repairs, we strongly advocate for preventive maintenance as the most cost-effective approach to electrical system management. Our customized maintenance programs include regular inspections, thermal imaging to detect hot spots, connection tightening, and component testing. These proactive measures identify potential problems before they cause system failures or safety hazards.
Regular maintenance extends the lifespan of your electrical components, reduces energy consumption, and ensures compliance with insurance requirements and building codes. For commercial clients, our maintenance programs minimize unexpected downtime that can impact productivity and revenue.
Upgrading to Modern Standards
Many properties in Nairobi still operate with outdated electrical panels that cannot safely handle modern power demands. We specialize in upgrading old fuse boxes to modern circuit breaker panels equipped with safety features like ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) and arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs). These upgrades not only improve safety but also increase property value and reduce insurance premiums.
