When to upgrade
Signs it's time for a new consumer unit
If any of these sound familiar, an upgrade is worth looking at.
- Old wired or plug-in fuse board
- No RCD protection on the existing board
- Board with signs of damage, scorch marks or overheating
- Adding an EV charger or major new circuit
- Failed EICR with consumer unit listed as a fault
- Renovation work that benefits from a fresh start
What you get
What modern consumer units can include
A modern board does more than the old wired fuses ever could.
RCD protection
Trips quickly on earth faults. A key modern safety feature.
RCBO circuits
Each circuit on its own RCBO so a fault only affects one circuit, not the whole house.
Surge protection
Optional SPD to help protect appliances from voltage spikes.
Clear labelling
Every circuit clearly labelled so faults can be isolated quickly.
