Consumer Units, often referred to as Fuse Boxes, are the central part of your electrical installation - their job is to distribute the electricity to where it is required in the home. They are generally made up of main switches, circuit breakers, RCDs or RCBOs.
They are there to protect you and may cause your electric to trip, to prevent any fire or electric shocks - if your electric is tripping, they are probably doing their job. However, these units are subject to different versions of wiring regulations and your existing unit may be old, or contain fuses that do not trip when overloaded, and this is a serious risk to yourself and your property.
As a fully NICEIC Approved Electrical Contractor, we can provide consumer unit installation services and, based upon space available and property type, we will recommend the best style of unit for your home. When installing a new consumer unit we will also carry out a full electrical test on your property, which means any additional faults or faulty wiring can be diagnosed and repaired if necessary - all adding to your safety and peace of mind. Once complete, we will provide you with a NICEIC Certificate.
