Old fuse boxes lack modern RCD protection, meaning they won't cut power fast enough to prevent a fatal electric shock or fire.
Frequent tripping indicates an overloaded system, which can cause overheating, damage appliances, and signals serious underlying wiring issues.
Modern regulations (BS 7671) mandate Residual Current Devices (RCDs) for shock prevention. If your box is old, your family isn't protected.
Your old unit was not designed for the electrical load of modern life. An upgrade ensures your system can handle new demands safely.

Protection from electric shock and fire risk with Arc Fault Detection Devices (AFDDs) and Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) as standard (or optional upgrade).

We issue a full Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) and notify local building control, ensuring your home is legally compliant for insurance and future sale

Modern consumer units use RCBOs, which mean if one circuit trips (e.g., your outdoor lights), the rest of your home electricity stays on.

We install units with spare circuits to easily accommodate future additions like solar panels, EV charging points, or smart home tech.

We visit your property to assess the existing wiring (often including a basic EICR) and provide a fixed-price, written quote with no hidden extras.

Our certified electricians complete the installation, minimizing power downtime (typically a few hours), and thoroughly test every circuit.

You receive your official certificate, and we walk you through your new unit to ensure you understand your new level of safety and protection.ce
