The consumer unit (often known as a fuse box) is the heart of every electrical system, distributing power safely. When outdated, overloaded, or showing signs of wear, a replacement is essential to ensure ongoing protection and compliance with modern safety standards.
At NJW Electrical Services Ltd, we provide expert consumer unit replacements for domestic and commercial customers across the UK, delivering safe, efficient, and fully certified installations.
Old-style fuse boxes with rewirable fuses no longer offer the level of safety required in modern-day homes and businesses. Our modern consumer units are equipped with RCDs (Residual Current Devices) and RCBOs (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent protection), offering enhanced protection against electric shocks, short circuits, and electrical fires. By upgrading, property owners significantly reduce the risk of electrical hazards while ensuring their installation complies with the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671).
At NJW Electrical Services Ltd, we begin every replacement with a thorough inspection of the existing system. Thisincludes assessing wiring, circuits and overall load demand before fitting the new unit to guarantee safety and reliability.
Once installed, we conduct full testing and certification to confirm everything is functioning as it should. Once complete, we issue the necessary documentation for records, including Part P Building Regulations compliance certificates.
Common signs to suggest the consumer unit needs to be replaced include:
- Frequent tripping or power cuts
- Fuses that blow regularly
- Signs of burning, melting, or buzzing sounds
- Lack of RCD protection
- A fuse box with wooden backing or outdated components
Replacing a consumer unit not only improves safety but also ensures properties meet current electrical standards and can increase property value. This is ideal when renovating, renting or selling.
