Consumer Unit Upgrades in Wellingborough
Replacement of old fuseboxes with modern consumer units using RCBO protection and surge protection where required. All installations are tested and certified.
Why a Consumer Unit Upgrade May Be Needed
Many older properties still have outdated fuseboxes that do not provide the level of protection expected in a modern installation. Upgrading to a modern consumer unit can improve safety and provide better protection against electric shock and fault conditions. If problems have already been identified during an EICR, remedial work may include a board replacement.
