Why Upgrade Your Fuse Board?
An outdated fuse board (often called a fuse box) can put your property at risk of electrical faults, fires, and insurance issues. Upgrading to a modern consumer unit brings your electrics up to standard and improves overall safety.
Key benefits include:
Enhanced protection with RCDs (residual current devices)
Compliance with BS7671:18th Edition wiring regulations
Reduced risk of fire and electrocution
Easier identification and isolation of faults
Required for many home renovations and landlord certifications
Installing an EV charger or planning a new kitchen? You may also need a compliant board — explore our EV charger installation services for more info.
Signs You May Need a Fuse Board Upgrade
Flickering lights or tripping circuits
Old fuse wire units instead of circuit breakers
No RCD protection visible on your board
Buzzing noises or a burning smell from the unit
Recently added appliances are causing overloads
Planning a rewire, extension, or EV charger install
If your property has older wiring, consider a full upgrade — our house rewiring services ensure total safety and long-term reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The cost of a fuse board upgrade depends on the size of your property, the number of circuits, and whether any additional work is required. We provide free, no-obligation quotes with clear, upfront pricing before any work begins.
-
Most fuse board upgrades are completed within a day. As part of the process, we carry out testing before replacing the fuse board to identify any existing faults that could affect the new installation. This allows us to resolve any issues first, helping to ensure a safe, smooth installation with minimal disruption.
-
Yes. Your power will be switched off while we replace the consumer unit, but we work efficiently to keep disruption to a minimum.

-
