Professional Consumer Unit Upgrades

Your consumer unit is a central part of your home’s electrical installation. It houses the protective devices that disconnect circuits when faults occur and plays an important role in electrical safety.

An older consumer unit does not automatically need replacing simply because of its age. We assess the existing equipment, circuit protection and overall condition of the installation before recommending replacement, so you receive advice based on the installation rather than an unnecessary upgrade.

When might a consumer unit need replacing?

  • Damaged or deteriorated consumer unit equipment
  • Signs of overheating or burning
  • Inadequate protection for the existing installation
  • Older equipment that is no longer suitable for alterations or additional circuits
  • Electrical faults identified during inspection and testing
  • Major electrical work where an upgrade forms part of the overall installation design

Not sure whether you need a new fuse box?

We can inspect and test the existing installation first. If your current consumer unit remains suitable, we’ll tell you rather than replacing it unnecessarily.
