Consumer Unit & Fuse Box Upgrades

Upgrade to a modern consumer unit for improved electrical safety and reliability.

Your consumer unit, often referred to as a fuse box, controls and protects the electrical circuits throughout your property.

Manchester Electrical Inspections carries out consumer unit and fuse box upgrades for residential properties across Greater Manchester, helping homeowners ensure their electrical systems meet current safety standards and modern electrical demands.

When a consumer unit upgrade is recommended

Outdated fuse boxes: Older units without RCD protection may no longer meet current safety standards.
Frequent tripping: Circuits that trip regularly can indicate an overloaded or unsuitable consumer unit.
Home improvements: Renovations, extensions and new appliances often require upgraded electrical protection.
Pre-sale preparation: Addressing electrical issues before selling a property can avoid delays or renegotiation.

What our consumer unit upgrades include

Installation of a modern unit: Consumer units fitted with RCDs, MCBs and surge protection where required.
