Modern Consumer Units Installed

A consumer unit is sometimes known as a fuse box. It is where the electricity in your home is controlled and distributed. A consumer unit contains the main switch, fuses or circuit breakers, and residual current devices (RCD).

If an issue occurs, your fuse box / consumer unit will cut the power in order to prevent fires and electrical damage.  As an important safety feature, consumer units should never be neglected. We replace, upgrade and install new consumer units in the Edinburgh area.

Moving a Fuse Board

If you are having renovation work completed on your home and find the fuse box / consumer unit is in the wrong place, contact us about moving it. Older homes were wired many decades ago when life was different and so the original fuse box location might not be convenient today.
