MCB Repairs in Delhi
Delhi is split across BSES Rajdhani, BSES Yamuna and Tata Power-DDL, and we work from your board inwards regardless of which serves you. In subdivided kothis and builder floors the practical ceiling is frequently the original sanctioned load rather than the MCB rating — we measure it rather than assume, because up-rating a board cannot add capacity you were never sanctioned.

Why Delhi is different
Electrical work in Delhi
Delhi's defining electrical problem is original wiring under modern load. Aluminium conductors in pre-1995 DDA and colony housing creep at screw terminals, and boards built with four to six ways now serve homes running several air conditioners. The right answer is almost always redistributing circuits and adding dedicated points, not fitting a larger main MCB.
An MCB that trips is usually doing its job, and replacing it with a higher-rated one is the single most dangerous "fix" in Indian homes — it does not solve the fault, it just removes the protection. Our electricians find out which circuit is drawing the current and why, and only then decide whether the answer is a repair, a re-balance across circuits, or a board upgrade.
Common problems
MCB Repairs faults we see most in Delhi
Each one written the way a customer describes it, with the cause behind it.
“The main MCB trips when several appliances run together”
Usually because: Genuine overload — the connected load exceeds either the MCB rating or your sanctioned load.
What we do: Load is measured and redistributed across circuits; if you are over sanctioned load, we tell you so rather than up-rating the MCB.
“The RCCB trips at random, often when it rains”
Usually because: Earth leakage. Moisture ingress into an outdoor point, a balcony light or a geyser element is the usual culprit in NCR monsoon.
What we do: Circuits are split and leakage is traced to the offending point, which is then repaired or isolated.
“One MCB trips the instant it is switched on”
Usually because: A dead short on that circuit, or a failed appliance still plugged in on it.
What we do: Circuit is isolated, appliances removed, and the short traced to the point or the cable run.
What the booking includes
- Isolating and testing each circuit to find which one is faulting
- Insulation-resistance and load measurement at the board
- MCB, RCCB or isolator replacement with correctly rated devices
- Re-tightening and re-labelling every termination in the DB
- Checking RCCB trip function with a test button and under load
What it does not cover
Listed so nothing appears on the bill that was not discussed up front.
- Meter-side work, which is the discom's responsibility (BSES, TPDDL, DHBVN, NPCL, PVVNL)
- Sanctioned-load increase applications

Pricing
MCB Repairs charges in Delhi
Indicative Delhi rates for a normal job.
| Job | Indicative price |
|---|---|
| MCB replacement | ₹250 – ₹550per MCB |
| RCCB / ELCB replacement | ₹900 – ₹2,200 |

| Full DB upgrade (6–12 way)Excluding the board and devices. | ₹3,500 – ₹9,000 |
These are indicative ranges for typical jobs, not quotes. You see the actual price for your job before you confirm the booking. A visiting charge of ₹99–₹149 applies where an inspection is needed, and it is adjusted against your final bill. Materials are billed separately and itemised on your digital invoice. Delhi is our baseline: figures on this page are the unadjusted NCR rates. Travel between neighbourhoods is short, most housing is directly accessible, and society entry is rarely a delay. Where a Delhi job does cost more, it is scope rather than location — older wiring and galvanised pipe take longer to work on than modern equivalents.

FAQs
MCB Repairs in Delhi — common questions
My MCB keeps tripping. Can you just put in a bigger one?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who offers to. The MCB is sized to protect the cable behind it. Fitting a higher-rated MCB lets that cable carry more current than it was designed for, and the failure mode is the cable overheating inside the wall where you cannot see it. We find the cause instead — usually overload on one circuit, which is fixable by redistributing it.
What is the difference between an MCB and an RCCB?
An MCB protects the wiring from overload and short circuit. An RCCB protects you from electric shock by detecting current leaking to earth — including through a person. They do different jobs, and a home should have both. Many older NCR distribution boards have MCBs only; adding an RCCB is one of the highest-value safety upgrades available.
Do you handle meter problems too?
No. Anything on the supply side of your meter belongs to your electricity distributor — BSES or Tata Power-DDL in Delhi, DHBVN in Gurugram, NPCL in Greater Noida, PVVNL in Noida and Ghaziabad. We work from your distribution board inwards, and we will tell you clearly when a problem is on their side so you are not paying us to fix something they must attend to.
