Fuseboard Upgrades

Upgrading Your Fuseboard to Meet Current Regulations

Your fuseboard (also known as a consumer unit) is the heart of your electrical system, and ensuring it meets current safety standards is essential for protecting your home or business.

Over time, regulations change to improve safety, and older fuseboards may not provide adequate protection against electrical faults or fire risks. Upgrading to a modern 18th Edition compliant fuseboard offers several benefits:

  • RCD Protection – Residual Current Devices quickly disconnect the circuit if a fault is detected, reducing the risk of electric shock.
  • Better Circuit Isolation – Modern units allow safer maintenance and fault finding.
  • Improved Fire Safety – Non-combustible enclosures and enhanced protective devices reduce fire hazards.
  • Compliance with Current Regulations – Essential if you’re having major electrical work, selling your home, or renting out a property.

At Complete Electrical Installations (Midlands), we provide fuseboard replacement and upgrades carried out by qualified electricians in full compliance with the latest regulations. We’ll test your system, install your new unit, and provide certification for complete peace of mind.

Why upgrade now? Safety standards are stricter than ever, and upgrading your consumer unit is one of the most effective ways to keep your property safe and compliant.
