An integral part of ensuring safety
Fuse boxes are an integral part of ensuring you and your family are safe in the event of an electrical fault, as they will immediately cut the power to the fault in the system. Many fuse boxes are now being replaced by consumer units, as these are easier to use and safer. They will also comply with building regulations. You also need to bear in mind that if you wish to extend your home or business, you may need a larger consumer unit, to cope with the extra demand.
Fuse box vs consumer unit
A fuse box works with fuses that will melt in the event of an electrical fault. However, this can take a short time to occur, and although it may only be a few seconds, it is still long enough to cause significant damage. A consumer unit, however, will instantly detect any fault in the system and shut it down. Unlike a fuse box, a consumer unit won’t need any replacement parts, it will just need turning back on again once the fault has been fixed.
Highly qualified and professional
Whether you need to replace an old fuse box or install a new consumer unit, you can be sure that all our electricians are highly qualified and professional, and they are required to undergo continuous training and development to ensure they are up to date on the latest regulations and technology.
