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Many older properties still have outdated fuseboxes that do not provide the level of protection expected in a modern installation.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.

  • No RCD protection present

  • Frequent tripping or nuisance faults
