Consumer Units
What is a Consumer Unit?
A consumer unit, also known as a fuse box or distribution board, is a crucial component of your electrical system. It distributes electricity around your home and protects the electrical circuits by cutting off the power in the event of a fault. Ensuring your consumer unit is modern and fit for purpose is essential for safety and efficiency.
Why Upgrade to a Modern Consumer Unit?
1. Enhanced Safety
Modern consumer units are designed to provide superior protection against electrical faults. They are equipped with Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent protection (RCBOs) which protect against both overcurrents and earth faults.
2. Fire Protection
New consumer units come with fireproof metal enclosures, significantly reducing the risk of fire spreading from electrical faults. This feature is particularly important for ensuring the safety of your property and its occupants.
3. Regulatory Compliance
Current regulations require consumer units to be metal-clad and have RCBOs installed. Upgrading ensures your electrical system is compliant with the latest standards, avoiding potential legal issues.
4. Preventive Maintenance
A modern consumer unit helps identify issues early, preventing costly repairs and enhancing the overall longevity of your electrical system.
5. Peace of Mind
Knowing your electrical system is up-to-date and compliant provides peace of mind, allowing you to focus on other important aspects of your home or business.
