Modern RCD-protected consumer units with surge protection and circuit labelling. Upgrade your fuse box for safety, compliance and peace of mind across Glasgow and the Central Belt.
6 Signs You Need A Consumer Unit Upgrade
If you notice any of these in your Glasgow property, your fuse box needs modernising.
Old Fuse Box Or Wylex Board
If your consumer unit still has ceramic fuses, rewireable fuses or a Wylex fuse board, it provides no RCD protection. This is the number one sign you need an upgrade.
Frequent Tripping
Modern consumer units with RCDs are more sensitive to faults — but if your old board trips regularly or refuses to reset, the unit itself may be faulty and need replacement.
Not Enough Circuits
Adding a new kitchen, EV charger or extension but your consumer unit is full? An upgrade with a larger board gives you spare ways for future expansion.
Buying Or Selling A Property
A modern RCD-protected consumer unit is a major selling point and often required by mortgage lenders and surveyors. It also helps pass an EICR.
Burning Smell Or Heat Damage
A hot consumer unit, discoloured casing or burning smell indicates internal damage. This is an immediate safety hazard requiring urgent replacement.
Insurance Or EICR Requirement
Many insurers now require RCD protection. An EICR with C1 or C2 defects on the consumer unit means you must upgrade to maintain cover and compliance.
What's In A Modern Consumer Unit?
Four essential features every upgraded board should include.
RCD Protection
Residual Current Devices detect earth leakage and disconnect power in milliseconds, preventing fatal electric shocks from faulty appliances or damaged cables.
Surge Protection
Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) protect your appliances, computers, TVs and smart home equipment from voltage spikes caused by lightning strikes and grid fluctuations.
Circuit Labelling
Every circuit is clearly labelled with its function and the rooms it serves. No more guessing which breaker controls the kitchen versus the bedroom.
Spare Capacity
Modern boards have more ways than older units, giving you space for future circuits like EV chargers, garden rooms, extensions or solar battery storage.
