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.

What is a Fuse Box?

- Overloading the electrical circuit using too many appliances at once.
- Using outdated or faulty appliances that draw less power.
- A short circuit is caused by damaged or exposed wiring.
- A ground fault occurs when there is a difference in the electrical current between the neutral and ground wires.
- Lightning strikes or utility company equipment failure can cause a power surge.
- 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Your current unit has outdated fuses instead of modern circuit breakers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.
