Consumer Unit & Fuse Board Upgrades in Edgware
The consumer unit, still often called the fuse board, is the heart of your home's electrics, and many Edgware homes are still running older boards that no longer meet today's standards. Whether it is a flat near the Broadway or a family house around Canons Park or Queensbury, a board with no modern safety switches may not cut the power fast enough when a fault happens.
A modern consumer unit gives every circuit its own protection, so a fault on one does not black out the whole home, and it guards against electric shock and fire. We supply and fit good-quality boards across Edgware, test every circuit first so any hidden faults show up before the upgrade, then label everything clearly and issue the Electrical Installation Certificate.
Tested first
We check your circuits before the upgrade, so hidden faults show up early rather than after the new board goes in.
Protection on every circuit
Each circuit gets its own safety switch, with surge protection available for sensitive electronics.
Clear labelling
Every circuit is clearly labelled and certified, so you always know what is what.
Your questions, answered
How long does the upgrade take?
Most consumer unit upgrades are done in a single day, with the power off for only part of it. We test every circuit as part of the work.
Is my old fuse board unsafe?
Not necessarily, but older boards often lack the safety switches a modern one has, and they may not cut power fast enough in a fault. We test first and tell you honestly whether an upgrade is worthwhile.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. You get an Electrical Installation Certificate proving the work is safe and to standard, and as a NAPIT-registered firm we notify any notifiable work too.
