Consumer Unit & Fuse Board Upgrades in London & the South East
The “Why Upgrade?”
Is your home still protected by an old-fashioned fuse box with rewireable fuses? Modernizing your consumer unit is one of the single most important safety improvements you can make for your property.
Key Benefits to Highlight
Enhanced Fire Safety: Modern units are made from non-combustible metal to contain potential fires (as per the latest 18th Edition Regulations).
Shock Protection (RCDs): New boards include Residual Current Devices that cut power in milliseconds if a fault is detected, potentially saving lives.
Surge Protection (SPD): Protect your expensive electronics (TVs, computers, kitchen appliances) from power spikes and lightning.
Future-Proofing: Essential if you are planning an extension, a new electric shower, or an EV charging point.
Signs You Need an Upgrade:
Your fuse box has a wooden back or a plastic enclosure.
You still have “castellated” or rewireable fuses (where you have to wrap copper wire).
There is no “Test” button (indicating a lack of RCD protection).
Your circuits trip frequently when using modern appliances.
