Fuse Board Replacement Installation Made Easy
Consumer Units/Fuse Boards
Your consumer unit is the heart of your electrical system and if it’s outdated, it could be putting your property at serious risk. At Newire Electrical Services, we specialise in modern consumer unit upgrades that bring your electrics up to current safety standards, protecting your home, your family, and your investment.
Modern boards are fitted with RCBO protection and surge protection (SPD), meaning faults are detected instantly and isolated safely. Unlike older fuse boards, a new consumer unit prevents dangerous electric shocks, reduces fire risk, and stops one fault from cutting power to your entire property. It’s a major safety upgrade that gives you complete peace of mind.
Signs You May Need a Consumer Unit Upgrade
- You still have an old fuse board with rewireable fuses
- Your board has no RCD/RCBO protection
- Circuits trip frequently or unpredictably
- You notice burn marks, buzzing, or overheating
- Your electrics haven’t been updated in 20+ years
- You’re planning upgrades like an EV charger, new kitchen, or extension
- Your property has failed or had issues on an EICR
- No earth bond on your main incoming Gas or Water
If any of the above apply, it’s strongly recommended to upgrade your consumer unit as soon as possible.
