Consumer Unit Replacements
The consumer unit is the heart of your electrical system, and comes in many shapes and sizes.
The unit distributes the electricity, via fuses or circuit breakers, to the different circuits such as sockets or lighting..
Modern consumer units are designed to help reduce electrical risks by incorporating Residual Current Devices (RCDs).
In the event if an electrical fault, these devices disconnect the electrical supply thus reducing the risk of electric shock or fire.
Miniature circuit breakers also make resetting the system more convenient than replacing old style fuse-wire.
You should contact us if you suspect that any of the following may apply to your installation:
- The fuse-board cover is missing
- The fuse-board is damaged
- There are any exposed live parts
- The fuse-board is showing signs of over-heating
- The fuse-board is overloaded
