Chilvers Electrical Services provides professional fuse board upgrades in Newport Pagnell and Milton Keynes. Also known as consumer unit replacements, upgrades improve electrical safety, reliability and compliance with current UK regulations, helping your home or business handle modern electrical demands.
Upgrading an old fuse board to a modern consumer unit can significantly improve the safety, protection and reliability of your electrical installation. Older fuse boards may lack the additional protection provided by modern RCD, RCBO and surge protection technology and may not be suitable for the electrical demands of a modern home.
A modern consumer unit can incorporate RCD and RCBO protection, helping disconnect the electrical supply quickly when certain faults are detected. This additional protection can help reduce the risk of electric shock and electrical fires.
All consumer unit upgrades should be properly designed, installed, inspected and tested in accordance with the applicable requirements of BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations).
Modern consumer units can provide individual circuit protection using RCBOs, helping to reduce unnecessary disruption if a fault occurs on one circuit. Surge protection devices (SPDs) can also be installed where appropriate to help protect sensitive electrical equipment from transient overvoltages.
Modern homes rely on more electrical equipment than ever. From ovens and induction hobs to home offices, extensions, heat pumps and EV chargers, your electrical installation needs to be capable of safely supporting today’s demands.
A fuse board upgrade can provide modern circuit protection and additional capacity where required.
A modern consumer unit can make future electrical work easier by providing suitable space and protection for additional circuits, subject to the capacity and design of the existing installation.
Whether you’re installing new lighting, additional sockets or an electric vehicle charger, upgrading an outdated fuse board can be an important part of modernising your electrical installation.
Chilvers Electrical provides professional fuse board upgrades and consumer unit replacements in Milton Keynes, Newport Pagnell and surrounding areas. We inspect the existing installation, recommend the appropriate solution and fully test the new consumer unit once installed.
