Fuse Board / consumer unit upgrades
What Is a Consumer Unit Upgrade?
A consumer unit, often referred to as a fuse board, is the central point of your property's electrical installation. It distributes electricity throughout your home and contains important safety devices designed to protect you and your property.
If your fuse board is outdated, damaged, or lacks modern safety protection such as RCDs, it may no longer meet current electrical standards.
A consumer unit upgrade involves replacing your existing fuse board with a modern unit that provides improved protection against electric shock, electrical faults, and fire risks. Upgrading your consumer unit can improve safety, enhance reliability, and help ensure your electrical installation complies with current Wiring Regulations.
Our qualified electricians will assess your existing installation, carry out all necessary testing, and install a new consumer unit to the highest standards.

When Is a Consumer Unit Upgrade Needed?
There are several reasons why a consumer unit upgrade may be recommended or required.
You may need a new fuse board if:
- Your property still has an old rewireable fuse board.
- Your existing consumer unit does not have RCD protection.
- The fuse board shows signs of damage, overheating, or deterioration.
- You're carrying out major renovation or extension work.
- An EICR has identified issues with the existing consumer unit.
- Your electrical installation no longer complies with current safety standards.
A modern consumer unit provides greater protection and can help reduce the risk of electrical faults, electric shock, and fire.
