Signs That Your Fuse Board May Need Replacing

​​

​​

If your consumer unit or fuse board is more than 20 years old, it may no longer meet current electrical safety standards. Replacing an outdated consumer unit can improve the safety, reliability and protection of your home's electrical installation.

You should consider a consumer unit upgrade if you notice any of the following:

• Your fuse board still uses rewireable fuses

• Frequent tripping of circuits or RCDs

• Signs of overheating or burning

• Cracked or damaged fuse board casing

• You are renovating or extending your property

• Your electrician has recommended replacement following an EICR

• Your consumer unit doesn't include RCD or RCBO protection

• You want to improve the safety of your electrical installation​

• You are having new renewable technology installed

• You are completing new building works
