Your fuseboard (consumer unit) is the heart of your home's electrical system, controlling and protecting every circuit in your property. If you're still relying on an old-fashioned fusebox with wire fuses or an outdated consumer unit without proper safety protection, it's time for an upgrade. Safe Elec UK specialises in modern fuseboard installations that bring your electrical system up to current safety standards.
Your modern fuse box (also known as a fuseboard or consumer unit) contains several important safety components working together to protect your home. The main switch allows you to turn off all electricity to your property when needed, whilst RCDs (Residual Current Devices) act as life-savers by cutting power within milliseconds if they detect dangerous electrical leakage that could cause electrocution. Individual circuit breakers (MCBs) replace old-fashioned wire fuses and simply reset with a switch after protecting circuits from overloads, and RCBOs combine both functions in one device for maximum protection. Modern units may also include surge protection devices to safeguard your expensive electronics from power spikes, with secure neutral and earth bars ensuring all connections are properly earthed throughout your home's electrical system.
Enhanced Safety Protection
Modern consumer units feature RCD (Residual Current Device) protection and RCBO (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent) protection that can detect electrical faults and disconnect power in milliseconds, potentially saving lives.
Current Regulation Compliance
All new fuseboard installations must comply with the latest BS 7671 wiring regulations. Our NICEIC qualified electricians ensure your upgrade meets all current standards.
Improved Reliability
Say goodbye to blown fuses and the inconvenience of replacing fuse wire. Modern circuit breakers simply reset with the flick of a switch.
