Expert Consumer Unit Installation
What is a consumer unit and what does it do?
A consumer unit, also known as a fuse box or distribution board is a key component of your property’s electrical system. A consumer unit is responsible for organising and managing your property’s electrical load. It does this by allocating power to particular circuits to ensure the distribution is balanced, therefore preventing system overloads and improving your system’s efficiency. Containing circuit breakers or fuses that trip or blow if there’s a fault, your consumer unit is designed to protect against electrical faults and reduce the risk of electrical fires.
Why upgrade your consumer unit?
- Improved Safety
New consumer units have advanced safety features such as Residual Current Devices (RCDs). An RCD is responsible for cutting off power if a fault occurs to reduce the risk of electrical shocks and fire hazards. - Regulatory Compliance
Consumer units come with regulations and standards that must be adhered to for the safety of your property. Consumer unit upgrades ensure compliance with the latest regulations, giving you peace of mind that your electrical system meets the required safety standards. - Accommodating Modern Appliances
If you have an outdated consumer unit, you may find that it struggles to support the power demands of modern appliances. Signs of this include frequent tripping, faults and damage. Consumer unit upgrades ensure that your unit can accommodate modern appliances.
