What Does Consumer unit Upgrade Involve?
An old fuse board with rewireable fuses or an outdated MCB board does not give you the same protection as a modern consumer unit. Many homes in Cornwall, particularly older properties, still have boards fitted decades ago that no longer meet current safety standards. A new board with RCD and RCBO protection will trip much faster in a fault situation, significantly reducing the risk of electric shock or fire, and giving you far better peace of mind day to day. Beyond safety, an upgraded consumer unit can also make everyday life easier. Modern boards are clearly labelled, easier to reset if something does trip, and can accommodate additional circuits if you are planning future work such as an extension, an EV charger, or extra outdoor sockets. Many homeowners choose to upgrade their consumer unit at the same time as other electrical work, or ahead of selling a property, since it is one of the first things a buyer's surveyor will check. Ryan will assess your current board, explain exactly what condition it is in and why an upgrade may or may not be needed, and recommend the right replacement for your home rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. The upgrade itself is usually carried out in a single day, with all work notified to building control and a completion certificate issued once everything has been tested.
