CONSUMER UNIT (FUSE BOARD) REPLACEMENTS

Your consumer unit (fuse box) provides vital safety coverage to protect YOU from electric shock, burns etc, and your HOME from potential fire in the event of a fault.

Consumer units are divided into circuits which separately provide power for lights, sockets, immersion heater, smoke alarms, electric oven, hob, and electric  vehicle chargers etc.

We pride ourselves in our bespoke consumer unit replacement service, if you are concerned about the condition and safety of your current consumer unit, or you have an old style rewireable “fuse box”, we can give you a quote for upgrading your installation to the modern standards that will include all the additional safety features required by home insurance policies.

The consumer unit, often termed as the fuse box, holds a pivotal position within any domestic electrical system . It essentially serves as the electrical heart of a property, regulating and distributing electricity safely to different circuits within the premise.

With a function so integral to the daily operations of a home, ensuring its efficiency, safety, and compliance with modern standards becomes of paramount importance. In England the demand for secure and efficient electrical infrastructures continues to rise. This demand emphasises the need for homes and commercial spaces to possess consumer units that are not only robust and durable but also aligned with the latest safety benchmarks.

PITFALLS OF OUTDATED FUSE BOXES

Time inevitably takes its toll on electrical installations. Old style fuse boxes, which might have been the norm several years ago, are not immune to the deteriorative effects of time and consistent use. With age, these units can become potential hazards, threatening both the safety of occupants and the integrity of the property. 

ELEVATE YOUR ELECTRICAL SAFETY

In an era where electrical safety and efficiency are non-negotiable, upgrading your consumer unit becomes a pressing need. By modernising

your fuse box, you’re not just ensuring compliance with the latest regulations but also fortifying your property against potential electrical hazards.

CONCERNS FROM OUTDATED FUSE BOXES

1. Deterioration: The materials and components of old consumer units are prone to wear and tear. This can compromise the unit’s functionality and pose risks like short circuits or electrical fires. 
2. Inefficient Power Distribution: Aged units may not distribute electricity as efficiently as their modern counterparts, leading to potential overloads or frequent tripping. 
3. Non-compliance with Modern Standards: Glasgow’s electrical safety standards have evolved over the years. Older units might not meet these modern benchmarks, rendering the property non-compliant with regulations.
