Keeping your home’s electrical system up to modern standards is crucial. Whether you’re renovating an old property or ensuring your home is up to date with the latest safety regulations, upgrading your consumer unit should be a top priority. At Plugged In Electricians, your trusted Lancaster, Carnforth, Windermere, Kendal, Silverdale and Morecambe Bay electrician, we specialize in consumer unit installations and upgrades, helping to future-proof homes across the area.
Why Upgrade Your Consumer Unit?
A consumer unit, also known as a fuse board or distribution board, is the heart of your home’s electrical system. Older units may struggle to keep up with the power demands of modern appliances, electric vehicles, or even solar panels.
If your consumer unit is outdated, not only could it pose a safety risk, but it might also be unable to handle additional loads, such as an EV charger or new kitchen appliances. As Electricians with years of experience, we recommend upgrading your consumer unit to a modern model with RCD protection and surge protection. This ensures your home is safe from electrical faults, while also preparing you for future installations like solar panels or EV chargers.
Benefits of a Modern Consumer Unit:
- Improved Safety – A modern unit with RCD protection dramatically reduces the risk of electrical fires and shocks by shutting off circuits when faults are detected.
- Energy Efficiency – A more reliable and efficient system can help reduce energy waste and support future energy-saving installations, like solar panels.
- Future-Proofing – As more homeowners switch to EVs and renewable energy, upgrading your consumer unit now can prevent costly electrical work in the future.
