⚙ What Is a Consumer Unit Upgrade?

A consumer unit distributes power through your home and protects circuits from overloading. Modern units include RCDs (Residual Current Devices) and MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers) for added safety.

🧰 When to Upgrade

• Your existing fuse box uses rewireable fuses

• You experience frequent tripping or power loss

• You’re extending or renovating your property

• Your system fails an EICR inspection

⚠ Why Upgrading Matters

❌ Fire Risk – Old fuse boxes can overheat.
⚡ Shock Protection – RCDs trip faster in case of faults.
📋 Compliance – Meets BS 7671 wiring regulations.
🏡 Property Value – Modern systems attract buyers and pass inspections.
