Professional Fuse Box Installation for Safe & Compliant Properties

A modern, well-maintained fuse box (consumer unit) is essential for electrical safety in any property. At Landlord Safety Experts, we provide professional fuse box installation, upgrades, and replacements to ensure your electrical system meets current UK wiring regulations.

Fuse Box Installation in London

Fuse box is the heart of your house’s electrical system, and it usually contains all connecting points for circuits. It usually terminates in fuses that are set to specific amps depending on the load that is required on each circuit. The fuse box and the consumer unit perform the same function of distributing electricity within a building through multiple circuits, and then immediately switching off the power when an overload happens in one of the circuits. This scenario of overloading and switching off is referred to as tripping.

Ensuring Electrical Safety with Modern Consumer Units

At Landlord Safety Experts, we specialise in professional fuse box installation and upgrades to keep your property safe and compliant. The fuse box, or consumer unit, is the heart of your electrical system, distributing power while protecting against faults. Older units with wire fuses no longer meet modern safety standards, potentially putting properties at risk of electrical fires or shocks. Our certified electricians install high-quality consumer units that comply with the latest 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671), giving landlords and homeowners peace of mind.

The Importance of Upgrading Your Fuse Box

Many properties still operate with outdated fuse boxes that lack crucial safety features found in modern consumer units. These older systems often fail to provide adequate protection against electrical faults, increasing the risk of fires and electric shocks. New consumer units incorporate advanced safety mechanisms such as residual current devices (RCDs) and circuit breakers that instantly cut power when a fault is detected. For landlords, upgrading is not just about safety – it’s a legal requirement to ensure rental properties meet current electrical safety standards.

What is a Fuse Box?

A fuse box, also known as a circuit breaker or consumer unit, is a vital component in your electrical system that protects your home and electronics from power surges and short circuits. It is responsible for controlling and distributing the electrical power throughout your home and is typically located in a utility room or garage.
The fuse box needs replacement.

It is important to understand why fuses blow can help prevent future issues and ensure a safe and reliable power supply.

  1. Overloading the electrical circuit using too many appliances at once.
  2. Using outdated or faulty appliances that draw less power.
  3. A short circuit is caused by damaged or exposed wiring.
  4. A ground fault occurs when there is a difference in the electrical current between the neutral and ground wires.
  5. Lightning strikes or utility company equipment failure can cause a power surge.
  6. Age and wear and tear on the electrical system can cause fuses to blow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fuse Box Installation FAQs

You may need a new fuse box if:

  • Your current unit has outdated fuses instead of modern circuit breakers

  • There's no RCD protection (crucial for safety)

  • You’re experiencing frequent tripping or electrical issues

  • You’re upgrading or extending your electrical system

  • You’ve been advised to upgrade after an EICR

While not strictly "legal" in all cases, current electrical safety regulations (BS 7671) require modern consumer units with RCD protection for new work or rewires. Insurers or landlords may also require upgrades for safety compliance.

They're essentially the same thing. "Fuse box" is the older term, while "consumer unit" refers to the modern version that uses circuit breakers and RCDs instead of traditional wire fuses.

An RCD (Residual Current Device) quickly disconnects electricity if it detects a fault, helping to prevent electric shocks and reduce fire risk. All modern consumer units must include RCD protection.

A standard installation typically takes 4–8 hours, depending on the size of the property and whether additional wiring work is needed.
