What is a Fuseboard Upgrade & Why Does Your Home Need One?

A fuseboard upgrade (also known as a consumer unit replacement) involves removing an outdated fuse box and installing a modern circuit breaker panel with RCD & surge protection.

Why Upgrade Your Fuseboard?

✅ Prevent Electrical Fires – Older fuseboxes overheat & pose fire risks 🔥
✅ Stay Legal & Compliant – Meets 18th Edition Wiring Regulations 📜
✅ Reduce Power Cuts – New circuit breakers handle higher loads ⚡
✅ Protect Your Home & Family – Residual Current Devices (RCDs) provide shock protection 🏡
✅ Increase Energy Efficiency – Modern consumer units reduce energy wastage 💡

Does Your Fuseboard Need Upgrading?

Not sure if your consumer unit is due for replacement? Look out for these signs:

1️⃣ Frequent Power Cuts – If your circuit breakers trip constantly, your fuseboard is overloaded.
2️⃣ Outdated Fusebox – Older units use fuses instead of circuit breakers & are slower to react.
3️⃣ Burning Smell or Scorch Marks – Signs of overheating, faulty wiring, or corrosion.
4️⃣ Limited Circuits & Plug Sockets – Relying on extension leads? You may need more circuits.
5️⃣ Your Fuseboard is 20+ Years Old – Older units don’t meet modern safety standards.
