Consumer Unit Renewals

If you’re in need of renewing your property or home’s Consumer Unit (fuse board), then DH Electrical Contractors are the perfect electrical contractors to choose.

We are Part P approved and are fully licensed to install and refit your East Sussex home’s fuse board.

Before deciding on whether or not you need your Consumer Unit renewing there are few things you should be aware of.

The first thing you need to be aware of when considering renewing your Consumer Unit is who exactly can carry out the installation.

You will need an electrician who is fully qualified and Part P approved to be able to carry out the renewal itself.

Consumer Units are one of the most important elements of your installation, so you may want to think of your fuse board as the central hub of your home. It is essentially the ‘brain’ to every single electrical aspect in your home.

If the installation of your new Consumer Unit is carried out incorrectly then you will be putting your home in a considerably dangerous position, putting not just yourself but your entire family at risk from electrical harm.

Here are just a few of the main reasons why you may be looking to or need to upgrade your old fuse board to a new 17th Edition Consumer Unit:

• If you are having any other electrical work carried out on your property you will need to comply with the regulations of installing a new Consumer Unit.
• If your current/old fuse board is overloaded and may be starting to cause issues throughout your property.
• Your wiring installation may be in poor condition but you cannot afford to rewire your entire property then changing to a 17th Edition Consumer Unit will offer increased protection.

Confident that you require your Consumer Unit to be renewed? Or do you require a little bit more information before replacing your property’s fuse board?
