DOES MY CONSUMER UNIT NEED REPLACING?
Your consumer unit is at the heart of your property's electrical installation, distributing electricity throughout your home while providing essential protection against electrical faults.
​
Modern consumer units incorporate protective devices designed to improve electrical safety and quickly disconnect circuits when certain faults occur. If your consumer unit is outdated, damaged or lacks suitable protection, it may be time to consider having it assessed or upgraded.
​
Below are some common signs that your consumer unit may need replacing.
-
Old or outdated fuse box - Older fuse boards may lack some of the protective devices found in modern installations.
-
Limited or no RCD protection - Your existing installation may not provide appropriate additional protection across the circuits that require it.
-
EICR has identified problems - An Electrical Installation Condition Report may identify issues with the existing consumer unit or circuit protection.
-
Signs of damage or deterioration - Visible damage, overheating or other defects should be investigated by a qualified electrician.
NOT SURE IF YOUR CONSUMER UNIT NEEDS REPLACING?
MODERN RCBO CONSUMER UNIT UPGRADES
A modern consumer unit provides improved protection for the electrical circuits throughout your property.
​
Where appropriate, we install metal fire-rated consumer units incorporating individual RCBO protection for each circuit, helping to minimise disruption by allowing a fault on one circuit to disconnect independently rather than unnecessarily affecting other circuits.
​
Surge protection (SPD) can also help protect electrical and electronic equipment against transient overvoltages within the installation.
​
We'll assess your existing electrical installation and specify a consumer unit and protective devices suitable for your property and its circuits.
