Upgrade Your Fuse Board for Safety & Compliance

If your property still has an outdated fuse board, it may no longer meet modern safety standards. Our professional electricians provide consumer unit upgrades to improve electrical safety, reliability, and compliance with current regulations.

Upgrading your consumer unit (fuse board) ensures your electrical system is protected against faults, overloads, and potential fire risks.

What Is a Consumer Unit?

A consumer unit, commonly known as a fuse board, is the central point that controls and distributes electricity throughout your property. It contains protective devices that automatically shut off power in the event of a fault.

Modern consumer units include:

RCDs (Residual Current Devices)

MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers)

Surge protection devices

Circuit isolation switches

These features provide significantly improved protection compared to older fuse boards.

Signs You Need a Consumer Unit Upgrade

If you’re unsure whether your fuse board needs upgrading, look out for these common signs:

Old-style fuse box with wire fuses

Frequent tripping circuits

No RCD protection

Burning smells or overheating

Flickering lights or power issues

Recently purchased an older property

If you notice any of these issues, a professional inspection is recommended.
