New Consumer Unit Installation in Woking

A modern consumer unit (also known as a fuse board) is one of the most important safety upgrades you can make to your home. At Woking Electrical, we provide professional new consumer unit installations for homeowners looking to improve electrical safety, meet current regulations, and support modern electrical demands.

If your property still has an older fuse board, upgrading to a modern unit with RCD or RCBO protection can significantly reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, and nuisance tripping.

Benefits of Upgrading Your Fuse Board

Installing a new consumer unit offers several key advantages:

Improved Electrical Safety

Modern consumer units provide fast-acting protection that reduces the risk of electric shock and electrical fires.

Compliance With Current Regulations

New installations meet BS 7671 wiring regulations, which is particularly important for landlords and homeowners planning to sell.

Reduced Nuisance Tripping

Modern RCBO systems isolate faults more accurately, meaning one issue won’t shut down power to your entire home.

Ready for Modern Living

A new consumer unit supports today’s electrical demands, including EV chargers,

What Is a Consumer Unit?

A consumer unit is the central control point for your home’s electrical system. It distributes electricity to individual circuits and provides protection if a fault occurs.

Older consumer units often rely on outdated fuses or lack modern safety features. New consumer units are designed to:

  • Detect electrical faults quickly
  • Cut power safely when issues occur
  • Protect people and property from electrical hazards

Upgrading your fuse board brings your home in line with modern electrical standards.

Signs You May Need a New Consumer Unit

Many homes in Woking still have consumer units that no longer meet current safety expectations. You may need an upgrade if:

  • Your fuse board uses old-style rewireable fuses
  • There is no RCD protection installed
  • Circuits trip frequently
  • The consumer unit shows signs of overheating or damage
  • You are renovating, extending or rewiring your home
  • An EICR has highlighted safety issues

If you’re unsure, we can assess your existing setup and provide clear advice.
