Consumer Unit Upgrades

As electrical standards and technology evolve, older consumer units may no longer meet modern safety regulations. Upgrading to a new consumer unit improves the safety and efficiency of your electrical system. Our modern units come with advanced safety features, such as RCD protection across all circuits, surge protection devices, and improved fire-resistant enclosures. By investing in an upgrade, it will give you peace of mind that your property is better protected from potential electrical hazards occurring.

Signs Your Consumer Unit Needs A Replacement

Recognising when your consumer unit requires replacing is vital for safety. Common signs:

  • Frequent tripping of circuit breakers or fuses blowing regularly.
  • Burning smells, buzzing, or crackling noises coming from the unit.
  • Scorch marks, discolouration, or signs of overheating on or around the consumer unit.
  • The unit still uses rewirable fuses instead of modern circuit breakers.
  • No RCD protection (Residual Current Devices) on circuits, leaving you less protected from electric shocks.
  • The enclosure is made of wood or older plastic, which no longer complies with modern fire safety standards.
  • The consumer unit looks outdated or damaged (rust, loose covers, or missing labels).
  • You’ve had electrical upgrades or added high-power appliances (like EV chargers, hot tubs, or new kitchen circuits) that the old unit cannot support safely.
  • The property has not had an electrical inspection in 10+ years.
