Old fuse boxes with rewirable fuses offer no RCD protection against electric shock and no surge protection for your valuable appliances. Our consumer unit upgrade service replaces your outdated fuse board with a modern metal-clad unit featuring residual current devices, miniature circuit breakers and optional surge protection. This is one of the most important safety upgrades you can make to your home.

FAQ

Common Questions

How long does a consumer unit upgrade take?

Most upgrades are completed in 4 to 8 hours. We typically need the power off for 2 to 4 hours during the changeover.

Will I lose power during the upgrade?

Yes, power will need to be off for a few hours while we change the board. We can schedule this at a convenient time for you.

Is my old fuse box illegal?

Not necessarily illegal, but it may not comply with current standards and many insurers now require RCD protection. Upgrading is strongly recommended.
