Consumer Unit Upgrades in South Wales
A consumer unit (also called a fuse box) is the heart of your home's electrical system. It distributes electricity to every circuit in your property and provides critical protection through RCDs (Residual Current Devices) and MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers).
If your property still has an old-style fuse box with rewirable fuses, or lacks RCD protection, you are at significantly higher risk of electrical fires and electric shocks. Modern consumer units meeting the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations are now required for all new installations and are strongly recommended for any property over 20 years old.
When do you need a consumer unit upgrade?
- Your property has an old fuse box with rewirable fuses or wooden back
- Your EICR inspection has flagged the consumer unit as requiring replacement
- You are adding new circuits (EV charger, extension, outbuilding)
- Your current unit lacks RCD protection on all circuits
- You are a landlord needing to meet EICR compliance requirements
Our NAPIT approved electricians install modern consumer units with full RCD protection, surge protection devices (SPDs), and all the circuits your property needs. Every installation is certified and notified to Building Control under Part P regulations.
