Why upgrade your consumer unit?
Is your fuse box up to scratch?
Many homes across Fife and Edinburgh still have older fuse boxes that were installed decades ago. These old units often lack modern safety features such as RCDs (Residual Current Devices), which can protect you from electric shocks and reduce the risk of fire.
Upgrading to a modern consumer unit doesn’t just improve safety – it also makes your electrical system more efficient and reliable. If you’re having frequent tripping, flickering lights, or blown fuses, that’s a clear sign it’s time to upgrade.
Modern consumer units are designed to meet today’s energy demands, including home offices, EV chargers, and smart appliances. An upgrade is also often required if you’re planning major electrical work or an extension.
If you’re unsure about the condition of your current unit, an inspection will tell you whether an upgrade is recommended. It’s a worthwhile investment in both safety and peace of mind.
