WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF A MODERN CONSUMER UNIT FOR HOME OR BUSINESS?
MODERN SOLUTIONS FOR MODERN TECHNOLOGIES
A modern consumer unit, sometimes referred to as a fuse board or distribution board, is the heart of your property's electrical system and upgrading to a modern unit is essential for both safety and performance.
Older fuse boards often lack the advanced protection features found in today's units, such as SPD's (Surge Protection Device) and RCBOs (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent protection), which provide individual circuit protection. This means that if a fault occurs, only the affected circuit is isolated, reducing the risk of electric shock, fire, and inconvenience.
Modern consumer units meet the latest 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671), ensuring your installation is compliant with current safety standards — which is particularly important if you're carrying out renovations, selling your home, or managing a commercial property.
Upgrading your consumer unit can also support new technologies, including EV chargers, solar panels and smart energy systems, helping to future-proof your home or business for years to come.
