Consumer Unit Upgrades
Upgrade your old fuse box to a modern consumer unit with RCD/RCBO protection. Improve safety, comply with current regulations, and protect your home from electrical faults. NAPIT registered installation with full certification.
Modern Consumer Unit Replacement
Your consumer unit (fuse board) is the heart of your home's electrical system. If your property still has an old-style fuse box with rewirable fuses or an early MCB board without RCD protection, upgrading to a modern consumer unit is one of the most important safety improvements you can make.
Modern consumer units feature RCDs (Residual Current Devices) or RCBOs that instantly disconnect the supply if they detect a fault, significantly reducing the risk of electric shock and electrical fires. The 18th Edition wiring regulations (BS 7671:2018) require all new consumer units to be made from non-combustible (metal) materials with full RCD protection.
Our NAPIT registered electricians will assess your current installation, recommend the appropriate consumer unit for your property, and complete the upgrade in a single day. The work includes full testing and an Electrical Installation Certificate for Building Control and insurance purposes.
