Fused Spur Sockets

As your fingers brush against the switch, you pause to admire the quality and beauty of the design. It matches your other wall plug sockets and finishes perfectly, creating an elevated, high-end look. You smile to yourself, glad you decided to swap out the default white plastic sockets in your home for a more polished finish.

Fused spurs with switches vs unswitched fused spurs

Our collection includes both fused spurs with switches and unswitched fused spurs, so there’s an option for every kind of appliance.

Choose a fused spur with a switch if the appliance will be used regularly but also spend a lot of time idle. This could apply if the appliance is only used at certain times of the year, such as an electric heater. A fridge might have a fused spur socket with a switch so that it can easily be defrosted.

Unswitched fused spurs are the best choice for appliances that need to be on constantly, such as the dishwasher or other high-voltage kitchen appliances that are used daily. They’re also useful when switching off the appliance could be damaging or dangerous, which could be the case if you have a medical refrigeration unit, for example.

A range of sophisticated finishes

In a carefully curated interior, even the smallest details can make a difference to the overall feel of the space. The last thing you want is unappealing white plastic sockets that stick out like a sore thumb in a room that you’ve put lots of effort into.

That’s why our fused spur sockets come in a range of sophisticated finishes to enhance your interiors and complement your décor.

Sockets with metallic finishes are perfect for making a space feel more luxurious and are sure to catch your eye by bouncing light from your decorative lighting around the room. In a kitchen, pair your fused spur socket with a set of double sockets for a practical yet stylish look.

We also have fused spur sockets in sleek black or white finishes, which are more subtle but still make a big impact. In a monochromatic space, these sockets are great for tying the space together – opt for matching light switches and light fittings for a refined finish.

Fused spur socket FAQs

What is a fused spur socket?

A fused spur is a single electrical outlet with its own designated circuit, typically used for high-power and high-voltage home appliances such as washing machines, ovens, and dishwashers. It features a fuse that prevents the circuit from overloading or short-circuiting, reducing the risk of electrical accidents.

Can I install a fused spur myself?

It is possible to install a fused spur socket yourself, but you should only attempt it if you have a strong understanding of electrical safety. Replacing one fused spur socket with another is a relatively straightforward task, so any competent householder should be capable of carrying out the work.

However, if it’s a brand new fused spur you’re looking to install, you should always use an electrician. Making even the slightest error could have very dangerous consequences and it’s not worth the risk.
