Is Your Fuse Box Outdated?
If your home still has an old-style fuse box with rewireable fuses, or a plastic consumer unit without RCD protection, it does not meet current UK electrical safety standards. Modern consumer units are designed to instantly cut the power if a fault is detected, preventing fires and fatal electric shocks.
RCD & RCBO Protection
We install 18th Edition compliant metal-clad consumer units featuring RCBOs (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent). These provide the highest level of protection for every individual circuit in your home.
Surge Protection
Modern units include Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) to protect your expensive electronics—like TVs, computers, and smart home systems—from sudden voltage spikes caused by lightning or grid surges.
What to Expect
- Pre-Installation Check: We test your existing earthing and bonding to ensure it's safe to upgrade.
- The Upgrade: Power is turned off while we carefully remove the old board and install the new metal-clad unit. This typically takes 4–6 hours.
- Full Certification: Every circuit is tested, and you receive an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) and Building Control notification.
