What Is a Fuse Board Upgrade?

Your fuse board (also called a consumer unit) is the heart of your electrical system. If it’s outdated, it may not offer the level of protection modern homes and businesses need. Upgrading to a newer consumer unit can improve safety, provide better fault protection and meet current standards.

When Should You Upgrade?

Old or Outdated Fuse Board

Older boards may lack modern protective devices and can be harder to maintain safely.

Frequent Tripping

Regular tripping can indicate underlying faults or an installation that needs upgrading.

Home Renovations / Extensions

If you’re adding circuits, upgrading the consumer unit may be the safest way forward.

Landlord / Compliance Work

If issues are flagged on an EICR, an upgrade can be required to meet safety standards.

FAQs

How long does a fuse board upgrade take?

Most fuse board upgrades are completed within a day. Timing depends on the installation and any issues found during testing.

Will my power be off during the work?

Yes — the power will need to be isolated during the upgrade. We’ll keep downtime as low as possible and explain the process before starting.

Do you provide certification?

Yes — where applicable, the work is tested and certified to confirm safety and compliance.

Do I need an upgrade if I’m getting an EICR?

Not always — but if the report flags safety issues or lack of modern protection, an upgrade may be recommended or required.
