Consumer unit upgrades in bridlington & east yorkshire

New consumer unit installed by us

Consumer Unit?

Your consumer unit – often still called a “fuse box” or "distribution board" – is the heart of your home’s electrical system. It controls the flow of power to every circuit, protects you from electric shocks, and ensures your wiring is safe. If yours is outdated or struggling to cope with modern appliances, it might be time for an upgrade.

Encountering an old rewirable fuse board is more common than you think?

Why Upgrade your Consumer Unit?

Modern homes rely on far more gadgets and appliances than they did even 20 years ago. Old fuse boxes weren’t designed to handle the demand, which can lead to safety risks. Upgrading your consumer unit gives you:

• Better protection with modern RCDs (Residual Current Devices)

• Compliance with the latest wiring regulations (BS 7671)

• Capacity for expansion, ideal if you’re planning a renovation, new kitchen, or an electric vehicle charger

• Peace of mind knowing your family and property are safe

Typical example of an old outdated consumer unit

What are the Signs?

• You still have rewirable fuses (the ones with wire inside).

• Your consumer unit is made of old the old style metal-clad or brown Bakelite material.

• You notice frequent blown fuse wire, overheating, or buzzing sounds.

• There’s no RCD protection at all.


If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting your unit checked.
