Residential Consumer Unit & Fuse Board Upgrades

An outdated fuse board is more than an inconvenience it can pose a significant safety risk to your household. Modern domestic power demands, driven by high draw appliances, smart home technology, and electric vehicle chargers, require advanced protection systems. For this residential project, EIS Electrical was brought in to replace an obsolete, non compliant fuse board with a state of the art, fully populated metal consumer unit.

Our upgrade focused on maximizing household safety and ensuring absolute compliance with current BS 7671 wiring regulations. By installing individual RCBOs (Residual Current Circuit Breakers with Overcurrent protection) and a dedicated SPD (Surge Protection Device), we provided the property with robust defense against electrical faults, accidental shocks, and atmospheric voltage surges, securing the home's power network for years to come.

Careful Extraction & Old Wiring Preparation

Before installing the new unit, our team systematically isolates the incoming mains supply, strips back the existing circuitry, and organizes the internal core cables to prepare for precision terminal dressing.

Systematic Core Routing & Terminal Balancing

To maintain an orderly and easily serviceable installation, every live, neutral, and earth conductor is meticulously routed, labeled, and cleanly combed into the new metal chassis.

Calibrated Loop & Insulation Resistance Testing

A fuse board upgrade is never complete without rigorous verification. We utilize specialized multi function testers to measure loop impedance and verify that every circuit safely trips within the mandatory millisecond thresholds.

The Finished, Flush Mounted Enclosure

The completed installation features a sleek, fire retardant metal casing that sits flush against the wall, offering a clean, unobtrusive finish while keeping the internal safety switches readily accessible.
