Your fuseboard (also known as a consumer unit) is the heart of your home’s electrical system. It protects you from electric shocks, fires, and power surges by cutting off electricity in case of a fault. If you live in an older property in Maltby, your fuseboard may not meet modern safety standards, putting your home and family at risk.
At MP Electrical, we specialize in fuseboard upgrades to ensure your Maltby home is safe, compliant, and ready for the future. Here’s why changing your fuseboard is one of the best electrical upgrades you can make.
✅ Why Upgrade Your Fuseboard?
1️⃣ Better Safety with RCD Protection
Modern consumer units come with Residual Current Devices (RCDs), which instantly cut off power if they detect an electrical fault, preventing electric shocks and fires. Older fuseboards don’t offer this level of protection.
2️⃣ Meets Current Regulations
If your fuseboard hasn’t been updated in years, it may not comply with modern electrical regulations (BS 7671). Upgrading ensures your home meets the latest safety standards.
3️⃣ Handles Modern Electrical Demands
Older fuseboards weren’t designed for today’s power-hungry homes. EV chargers, modern kitchen appliances, and smart home tech all put extra strain on your system. A new fuseboard ensures your home can cope.
4️⃣ Eliminates Old-Style Fuses
If you still have a re-wireable fuseboard (the ones with fuse wire you have to replace), it’s time for an upgrade! Modern circuit breakers are much safer and easier to reset.
5️⃣ Peace of Mind
A new fuseboard gives you the confidence that your electrical system is *safe, reliable, and built to last.
🔍 Signs You Need a Fuseboard Upgrade
⚠️ No RCD protection – Older boards won’t protect you from electric shocks.
⚠️ Frequent tripping or blown fuses – This suggests your system is overloaded.
⚠️ Burn marks or buzzing sounds – Signs of overheating or loose connections.
⚠️ Fuseboard looks outdated – If it has wooden backing or ceramic fuses, it’s time for an upgrade!
