Consumer Unit Changes and Upgrades

The consumer unit or fuse board often goes unnoticed, yet it plays a vital role in households and premises. It’s common to overlook its condition, but in today’s tech-driven world, an aging fuse board might not meet the demands of modern life. While it may not appear urgent, ensuring your fuse board is up to date is essential. Upgrading to a modern fuse board offers reliability, safety, and improved efficiency, making it a worthwhile investment.

Consumer unit changes and upgrades will be completed the same day and I will carry out comprehensive tests to ensure everything is working as it should be. All Consumer unit changes and upgrades are certificated on completion. Call today to discuss your requirements.

Why should you change your fuse board?

Safety – Today’s consumer units prioritise safety with advanced features. For instance, a residual current device (RCD) automatically cuts off power during electrical faults, minimising the chances of fires and electric shocks.

Demand – If you discover that your existing consumer unit is at capacity, upgrading your consumer unit to a larger or newer model can offer additional options to accommodate your needs. Older fuse boards typically have fewer circuits than modern ones, reflecting the increased demands of contemporary homes compared to around two decades ago. As modern households require more electrical capacity for various appliances and technologies, upgrading to a larger or updated consumer unit becomes necessary to meet these evolving requirements.

  Can’t recommend enough :) Within 10 mins of calling up with a power loss emergency (at the end of the day!!) Mark came round to help. Realising the issue was bigger than originally thought, Mark was able to make space for us the next morning after collecting parts to fix the issue for a very reasonable price. So knowledgable and helpful and will 100% be using in future. Thank you so much Bright Sparks.
