Consumer Unit upgrades
Your consumer unit or fuse box is the hub of electricity in your home and provides vital
safety coverage to protect you from electric shock, burns, and potentially fire in the event of
a fault. Consumer units are divided into circuits which separately provide power for lights,
sockets, immersion heater, smoke alarms, electric oven, hob, electric vehicle chargers etc.

CONSUMER UNIT UPGRADES

In the UK many homes are still equipped with an old-style fuse box, these are outdated and much less safe than the modern consumer units available today.
If your property has an out-dated fuse board, it would definitely be a smart decision to have a new one professionally installed. Did you know that approximately 50% of fires in UK homes are caused by electrical faults? (That’s about 21,000 per year!) Bearing that in mind, there are of course many vital reasons and benefits as to why you should upgrade or replace your old fuse box to the modern consumer unit.
