Why Modern Consumer Units Improve Your Home’s Safety
Learn why upgrading your fuse board improves safety and compliance. Installed by a Which? Trusted Trader electrician.
Consumer units (fuse boards) are the heart of your electrical installation — and outdated units are a major safety concern. Many Hampshire homes still have old-style metal switches, no RCD protection or even rewireable fuses.
A modern consumer unit dramatically increases protection for your home and your family.
Why Upgrade?
Modern units come with:
- RCD/RCBO protection to reduce electric shock risk
- Better fire resistance
- Improved fault isolation
- Neater circuit organisation
- Room for future upgrades (EV chargers, extensions, etc.)
If your consumer unit hasn’t been updated in the last 15–20 years, it’s worth having it reviewed.
When Should You Upgrade?
- You’re renovating or extending
- You’re adding high-load appliances
- You’re installing an EV charger
- Your current unit has no RCDs
- You’ve been advised during an EICR
Upgrading is an investment & improves the safety of your home and the people who live there.
