Consumer Unit Installations and Upgrades

A consumer unit, commonly referred to as a fuse box, is the central hub for managing electricity in your home. It houses the circuits that power everything from sockets and lights to immersion heaters, electric ovens, hobs, smoke alarms, electric vehicle chargers, and outdoor power outlets. Its most crucial role is ensuring safety by protecting you from electrical shocks, burns, and potential fires in the event of a fault.

When Should You Replace Your Consumer Unit?

It's recommended to have electrical installations inspected every 10 years, or every 5 years in rental properties. If you’ve just moved into a new home, it’s a great opportunity to evaluate whether your current consumer unit is still safe and functioning properly.
