Why Upgrade

Is Your Fuse Board
Holding You Back?

Your consumer unit — or fuse board — is the heart of your electrical system. Older units with rewirable fuses or early MCBs offer far less protection than modern RCD-equipped boards, and may not be adequate for today's electrical demands.

Signs your consumer unit needs upgrading:

Old rewirable fuse box still in place
Circuits tripping regularly
Planning to add EV charger or solar panels
No RCD protection on the board
EICR has flagged the board as C2
Buying, selling or renting the property
Better Protection with RCDs
Modern consumer units include RCDs and RCBOs that disconnect power in milliseconds if a fault is detected — protecting lives and property.
Handles Modern Electrical Loads
EV chargers, heat pumps and home offices demand more than older boards can safely supply. An upgrade ensures your system is up to the task.
Increases Property Value
A modern, compliant consumer unit is a positive for any EICR inspection and gives buyers and insurers confidence in the property's electrics.
Full Certification Provided
All installations are notified to building control and a full electrical installation certificate is provided on the same day.
What We Do

Our Consumer Unit Services

Whether you need a full replacement, an upgrade to meet modern standards or an additional board for an extension — we cover it all.

Full Consumer Unit Replacement

Replace your old fuse board with a modern dual RCD or RCBO consumer unit — faster, safer, and fully compliant with BS 7671.

EV Charger Consumer Unit Upgrade

Adding an EV charger often requires a consumer unit assessment or upgrade. We carry out both in a single visit.

Commercial Distribution Boards

Specification, supply and installation of commercial distribution boards for offices, retail units, warehouses and industrial premises.

Additional Consumer Units

Installing outbuildings, garages, extensions or annexes? We install sub-boards to feed new areas without overloading your main unit.

RCBO Upgrades

Upgrading individual circuits to RCBO protection gives each circuit its own independent protection — a fault on one circuit won't trip the rest.

Testing & Certification

Full test on completion, building regulations notification and an Electrical Installation Certificate — all included as standard on every job.
