Reduce Operational Costs from Blown Fuses with measurable.energy
Problem: Hidden costs of traditional fused spurs
In today’s commercial buildings, a simple blown fuse can trigger a cascade of inefficiencies:
-
An occupant notices a non-functioning socket and raises a support request
-
Maintenance is called to site visit to diagnose and fix the issue (£120).
-
If a replacement fuse isn’t available on the first visit, a second visit may be needed (£120).
-
Root causes are rarely investigated immediately, increasing the risk of recurrence.
Total Cost per Blown Fuse: £240
And it happens more often than you think...
From our building data, 2 fuses blow per 100 sockets per year — leading to £240 in annual cost per 100 sockets, or £2.40 per socket per year.
measurable.energy: Smarter diagnosis, fewer callouts
By deploying measurable.energy, facilities teams gain real-time visibility into fuse status and fault patterns—before users even notice.
Key Benefits:
-
Early diagnosis: Faults are detected automatically.
-
Streamlined triage: The correct team is dispatched immediately.
-
Fewer site visits: With accurate remote diagnosis, most incidents are resolved in 1 callout instead of 2 or more.

Scalable impact for facilities teams
Whether you're managing 1,000 sockets or 50,000, the savings compound:
-
1,000 sockets = £2,400 saved per year
-
10,000 sockets = £24,000 saved per year
-
And beyond...
Plus, indirect savings come from:
-
Fewer user complaints and distractions
-
Faster time-to-fix
-
Reduced risk of repeat fuse failures due to root-cause monitoring
