New Consumer Unit Installation

Safe, Modern Consumer Units Installed by Qualified Portsmouth Electricians

Why Upgrade Your Consumer Unit?

Signs You May Need a New Consumer Unit

You may benefit from an upgrade if you notice:

  • Rewireable fuses instead of modern breakers

  • Frequent tripping

  • Buzzing or crackling sounds

  • No RCD protection

  • Burn marks or heat damage

  • Additions such as new kitchens, EV chargers or extensions

  • Old-style plastic fuse boxes

Our electricians can inspect your board and give clear, honest advice.

Why Upgrade?

A modern consumer unit (often called a fuse board) offers far greater protection than older systems. Many older boards lack RCD/RCBO safety devices, leaving your home more vulnerable to electrical faults.

Upgrading provides:

  • Improved protection against electric shock

  • Faster fault detection

  • Reduced risk of electrical fires

  • Better support for higher electrical demand

  • Compliance with current regulations

  • Peace of mind for homeowners and landlords

If your fuse board hasn’t been inspected in years, we can assess it and advise whether a replacement is recommended.
