Fuse box/Consumer Unit Upgrades in Glasgow
Why You Should Upgrade Your Fuse Box – Safety, Compliance & Peace of Mind
Your fuse box or also known as a consumer unit, is the heart of your electrical system. It controls and protects all the circuits in your home or business, keeping you safe from electrical faults. But if your fuse box is old or outdated, it might not offer the protection you need. That’s where we come in.
What Is a Fuse Box Upgrade?
A fuse box upgrade involves replacing your old fuse box with a modern consumer unit that includes Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent protection(RCBO). These devices provide much better protection against electric shocks, fire, and overloaded circuits.
Signs You Might Need an Upgrade
You should consider a fuse box upgrade if:
- Your fuse box uses re-wireable fuses (the old-style cartridge fuses)
- There are frequent trips or blown fuses
- You’ve had an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) that flagged issues
- You’re planning a major renovation or extension
- Your property is over 20 years old and hasn’t had recent electrical work
The Benefits of a New Consumer Unit
-Enhanced safety – Modern RCDs can detect faults and disconnect the power in milliseconds
- Better protection for your home, family, or tenants
- Peace of mind knowing your system complies with the latest wiring regulations (BS 7671)
- Increased capacity – ideal if you’re adding new appliances or circuits
- Insurance compliance – some insurers may require updated electrical systems
