1) Modern Consumer Unit Upgrades You Can Rely On

Your consumer unit (often called a fuse board) is the heart of your home’s electrical system. If it’s outdated, overloaded, or missing modern safety protection, it can put both your property and your family at risk.

At Wessex Electrical Services Ltd, consumer unit upgrades are one of our specialist services. We help homeowners replace older fuse boards with modern, fully compliant consumer units designed to meet today’s electrical demands and current safety standards.

2) Why Upgrade Your Consumer Unit?

Many older properties still rely on fuse boards that were never designed for modern living. Common reasons customers contact us include:

  • No RCD or RCBO protection
  • Frequent tripping or blown fuses
  • Signs of overheating, burning smells, or damage
  • Home renovations or extensions
  • Installing EV chargers, electric showers, heat pumps, or high-load appliances

A modern consumer unit significantly improves electrical safety, reliability, and compliance, while giving you long-term peace of mind.

3) Our Approach to Fuse Board Changes

We don’t believe in rushing safety-critical work. A consumer unit upgrade is not a “quick swap” — it’s a controlled, methodical process that must be done properly.

Every consumer unit upgrade includes:

  • A full assessment of the existing electrical installation
  • Clear, honest advice on the most suitable solution (no upselling)
  • High-quality components from trusted manufacturers
  • Thorough testing, certification, and compliance with BS 7671

We work cleanly, minimise disruption, and always leave your property tidy and safe.
