A fuse board, also known as a consumer unit, is the central hub of your home’s electrical system. It protects your property by shutting off power during faults or overloads.
Signs include:
Upgrading your fuse board brings multiple advantages, including enhanced safety through advanced protection features, adherence to current electrical regulations for legal compliance, and the ability to support modern electrical demands from high-power appliances.
Typically, every 25-30 years or when safety concerns arise.
Most upgrades are completed within 4-6 hours, depending on the complexity.
In most cases, no. However, an EICR will assess the condition of your home’s wiring and determine if any repairs or upgrades are necessary before proceeding with a fuse board upgrade. This ensures the safety and efficiency of the new installation.
Upgrading a fuse board is not a DIY task. It requires a certified professional to ensure safety and compliance. Additionally, any fuse board upgrade must be notified to Building Control under Part P of the Building Regulations. A qualified electrician will handle this process to ensure everything is done legally and correctly.
Costs vary based on your home’s specific requirements, such as the size of your property and the complexity of the installation. Small consumer units typically start from as little as £500, but more advanced units or additional work may increase the cost.
An RCD (Residual Current Device) is a critical safety feature that prevents electric shocks by disconnecting power when it detects a fault. It monitors the flow of electricity through a circuit and cuts off the supply within milliseconds if it senses any imbalance, thereby protecting you and your family from potential harm.
Yes, all installations must comply with the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671), which outline the latest standards for electrical installations to ensure maximum safety and compliance in modern homes.
What is an EICR, and do I need one?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) checks the safety of your home’s wiring. If your property is older or you’re a landlord, an EICR is essential for compliance and peace of mind.
How long does a fuse board upgrade take?
Most installations are completed in just a few hours, with minimal disruption to your home.
Is this required by law?
For rental properties, an up-to-date fuse board and EICR are legal requirements. For homeowners, it’s strongly recommended to keep your home safe and insurable.
