Consumer Unit Upgrade
Consumer Unit Upgrade in Chester and Cheshire
Modern fuse board and consumer unit upgrades to the 18th Edition BS7671 standard. For homes, landlords and commercial premises across Chester and Cheshire. NAPIT approved and fully certified.
Why upgrade your consumer unit?
The consumer unit, often called the fuse board, is the heart of your electrical installation. Older boards with rewireable fuses or no RCD protection do not meet current standards and offer far less protection against electric shock and fire. Upgrading to a modern consumer unit brings your installation up to the 18th Edition of BS7671 and adds proper protection across your circuits.
Consumer unit upgrades for every property
Homes
Replace an old fuse box with a modern RCD protected consumer unit and bring your home up to current safety standards.
Landlords
A modern consumer unit helps a rented property pass its EICR and keeps you compliant with your electrical safety duties.
Commercial
Distribution boards and consumer units for commercial premises, sized and protected for how the building is used.
18th Edition and fire rated units
The 18th Edition of BS7671 sets the current requirements for consumer units, including the move to non combustible enclosures. Modern units are metal and fire rated, rather than the older plastic boards, which reduces the spread of fire in the rare event of a fault. Every upgrade M Stowell Electrical fits meets the current standard.
- 18th Edition BS7671 compliant
- Metal, fire rated enclosures
- RCD and RCBO protection across circuits
- Tested, labelled and certified on completion
NAPIT certified work
Replacing a consumer unit is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations. As a NAPIT approved electrician, M Stowell Electrical can self-certify the work, so it is legally compliant without separate building control sign off, and you receive a valid certificate. A consumer unit upgrade also forms part of every full rewire.
