5 Signs Your Fuse Board Needs an Upgrade
Your fuse board (also known as a consumer unit) is the heart of your home’s electrical system. If it’s outdated or overloaded, it could be putting your property and safety at risk. Here are five signs it might be time to upgrade:
You still have a fuse box with wire fuses.
Frequent tripping or flickering lights.
No RCD protection. (This shuts off power during a fault)
You’ve recently renovated or extended your home.
Burning smells or scorch marks.
Modern consumer units offer better protection and are required for many insurance and safety standards.
