WHY UPGRADE

Why you should upgrade

Upgrading your fuse board is one of the most effective ways to improve electrical safety within your home. Older fuse boxes were not designed to cope with today’s electrical usage, particularly with the rise of modern appliances and smart technology. A consumer unit upgrade provides improved circuit protection, greater capacity, and long term peace of mind. With features such as RCD protection, your home is better protected against electrical hazards while remaining compliant with current safety standards.

Reasons to upgrade

Older fuse boards without modern circuit breakers or RCD protection can significantly increase the risk of electrical fires and faults. These systems often struggle to handle modern electrical demand, leading to overheating, power interruptions, or unsafe conditions. A fuse board upgrade introduces advanced safety features that actively reduce risk and improve overall protection throughout your home.

Electrical safety regulations have changed over time, meaning many older fuse boards no longer meet today’s requirements. Modern consumer units are designed to comply with current standards such as BS 7671, offering improved fault detection and protection. Upgrading your fuse board ensures your electrical installation is compliant and provides reassurance that your home meets modern safety expectations.

A modern consumer unit offers improved circuit protection that helps safeguard appliances from electrical surges or faults. Advanced circuit breakers and RCDs can detect issues early and disconnect the supply before damage occurs. This reduces the risk of appliance failure, extends equipment lifespan, and helps avoid unnecessary repair or replacement costs.

As homes increasingly rely on smart devices and high demand electrical equipment, older fuse boards can quickly become overloaded. A fuse board upgrade allows for additional circuits and greater capacity, supporting future installations such as electric vehicle chargers, solar panels, or smart home systems. A modern consumer unit ensures your electrical system is ready to adapt as your needs change.
