Your consumer unit - or fuse board - is the heart of your home’s electrical safety system. Older units may lack modern protection devices that help prevent shocks, electrical fires, and those pesky power trips that always seem to happen at the worst time.
Upgrading to a modern consumer unit can give your home a real safety boost. Today’s units include advanced protection to keep your property, appliances, and family safe, all while meeting current regulations and coping with the growing demands of modern electrical loads.
Many homeowners choose to upgrade when moving into an older property, renovating, or after an inspection raises safety concerns. The good news is that in most cases, it’s much quicker and less disruptive than a full rewire and we won’t need to turn your house upside down!
As always, we’ll give you honest advice, explain your options clearly, and only recommend an upgrade if it genuinely makes sense for your home.
We inspect your existing consumer unit and installation to confirm that an upgrade is appropriate, before identifying any issues that need addressing.
A compliant replacement solution is specified based on your property and electrical needs. Work is scheduled to reduce inconvenience and downtime.
The new consumer unit is installed carefully and professionally. All circuits are then fully tested to confirm safe, reliable operation.
You receive all relevant documentation, and we explain the new installation clearly so you understand what has been done and how your system is protected.
Our consumer unit upgrade servicetypically includes:
● Replacement of your outdated fuseboard with a modern, regulation-compliant consumer unit
● Reconfiguration of circuits where necessary to improve safety and performance
● Clear labelling of all circuits for easy identification and future maintenance
● Thorough testing of every connected circuit
● Removal of outdated or redundant components
● Advice on spare capacity for future additions such as EV charging, heat pumps, or extensions
● Full certification and compliance documentation for your records
All work is completed to current regulations and carefully tested before handover.
