Why upgrade your fusebox or rewire?
- Safety first: Older fuseboxes lack modern RCD/RCBO protection that helps prevent electric shock and reduces fire risk from faults.
- Nuisance tripping / hot smells: Repeated trips, buzzing, scorch marks or a warm consumer unit are red flags for overloaded or deteriorated wiring.
- Age & insulation breakdown: Rubber/PVC wiring from decades ago becomes brittle, increasing risk of shorts and overheating.
- Home changes: Extensions, EV chargers, electric showers and new kitchens often need extra circuits and better protection.
- Compliance & insurance: A modern board with clear labelling and RCDs aligns with current BS 7671 standards and is favoured by insurers.
- Fire risk reduction: Electrical faults remain a leading cause of home fires. Proactive upgrades and rewires help protect people and property.
