Why Upgrade Your Fuse Box?
Old fuse boxes with rewirable fuses are outdated and don't meet modern safety standards. They lack RCD protection, which can prevent electric shocks and reduce fire risks. If your fuse box has rewirable fuses, wooden backing, or no RCD protection, it's time to upgrade to a modern consumer unit that meets current regulations.
Benefits of a Modern Consumer Unit
A new consumer unit provides superior protection with RCDs (Residual Current Devices) that detect earth faults and disconnect power in milliseconds. MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers) offer better overload protection than old fuses. You'll also have separate circuits for different areas, making fault-finding easier and allowing partial power during issues.
Our Installation Process
We start with a full electrical inspection to assess your current installation. Our NAPIT certified electricians then install a new consumer unit to current BS 7671 standards, including proper circuit separation, RCD protection, and surge protection where needed. All work includes testing, certification, and notification to building control.
