Fuseboard Upgrades
Fuseboard upgrades can greatly enhance your home’s safety and reliability while ensuring that your wiring is capable of handling the power needs of today’s technology.
​
7 Electrical can help you determine if your property's fuse box needs to be replaced and will provide expert installation services to ensure that everything is up-to-date and the fuse box is functioning properly.

A fuse box, also known as a consumer unit, electric fuse board, distribution board or electrical board, is responsible for powering all the circuits within your home. Modern fuseboards feature a bank of small switches of circuit breakers that immediately switch off the power when a problem is detected. If your home has an outdated fuse box or consumer unit, it may not be equipped to handle the electrical demands of modern appliances and electronics. This can cause problems such as frequent tripping of circuit breakers, power outages, and even electrical fires.
​
Fuseboards upgrades are recommended to replace older non-compliant models, or to upgrade to better meet your electrical demands. At 7 Electrical, we discuss our client’s needs before undertaking a fuseboard upgrade ie, what are the long-term plans for the property, will any new equipment be installed, are any extensions being planned, is an EV charging point required.
​
When considering the increased protection against electric shock and the reduced risk of an electrical fire, this small investment can go a long way. Usually, there isn’t any need to disrupt the electrical wiring within the property and this type of work can be carried out with little disruption to the homeowner.
​
Fuseboard replacements must be carried out by a fully-qualified electrician in order to comply with building regulations as well as to give you peace of mind that the new consumer unit and all electrical circuits are safe.
