Consumer Unit Upgrades

What is a Consumer Unit?

A consumer unit is the heart of your home’s electrical system, distributing power safely and efficiently. It houses circuit breakers, RCDs (Residual Current Devices), and other protective devices to prevent electrical hazards.

Why Upgrade Your Consumer Unit?

  1. Improved Safety:
    • Old units may lack modern safety features, such as RCD/RCBO protection, which reduces the risk of electrical shocks.
  2. Compliance with Regulations:
    • Upgrades ensure your system meets the latest electrical standards (e.g., BS 7671 in the UK).
  3. Support for Modern Appliances:
    • New consumer units can handle higher electrical loads, essential for modern homes with EV chargers, smart systems, and energy-efficient devices.
  4. Reduce Fire Risks:
    • Replace outdated units with safer, fire-resistant models.
