Older properties across Birmingham often still rely on outdated fuse boxes. While these may still function, they can be unsafe and non-compliant with modern regulations. At Pailey Electrical Services, we recommend upgrading to a modern consumer unit for improved safety and efficiency.
What is a fuse board?
A fuse board — also known as a consumer unit — is the heart of your home’s electrical system. It distributes electricity to all circuits and provides critical protection through MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers) and RCDs (Residual Current Devices).
Why have a fuse board upgrade?
You might need to upgrade your fuse board if:
- Your current board has rewireable fuses.
- There’s no RCD protection installed.
- You’re experiencing frequent power outages or electrical faults.
- You’re adding new circuits for a kitchen renovation, extension, or EV charger.
Benefits of a fuse board upgrade
- Improved Electrical Safety: Modern boards shut off power quickly in the event of a fault, reducing the risk of shock and fire.
- Future-Proofing Your Home: Supports additional circuits and modern energy-efficient systems.
- Insurance and Legal Compliance: Some insurers require a recent electrical inspection and a modern fuse board.
- Peace of Mind: Know that your property is protected to current standards.
