Consumer Unit Upgrades
Ensure your property’s electrics are safe, compliant, and built for today’s demands with a professional consumer unit upgrade. Our fully certified installations protect against overloads, faults, and fire risks — giving you peace of mind and long-term reliability.
Protect Your Property with a Safer, Smarter Fuse Board
Your consumer unit — often referred to as the fuse board — is the heart of your electrical system. If it’s outdated, overloaded, or lacking modern safety features like RCD protection, it could put your home or business at serious risk. At Smith and Sons Electrical, we specialise in upgrading old consumer units to meet the latest safety regulations and performance standards.
Why Upgrade Your Consumer Unit?
Many older properties still have fuse boxes that don’t comply with current electrical regulations or offer the protection required by modern living. If your unit has rewireable fuses, no RCDs, or you’ve experienced issues like tripping circuits or burning smells, it’s time to consider an upgrade.
A new consumer unit ensures:
- Enhanced safety through Residual Current Devices (RCDs)
- Proper circuit separation and overload protection
- Compliance with BS7671 Wiring Regulations
- Reduced fire risk and protection against electric shock
Electrical excellence you can depend on — every project, every time.
