Known in the industry as a Consumer Unit, Hendra Electrical may need to upgrade or entirely replace your Fuse Board for a variety of reasons including:
If your electrical installation complies with current regulations and is deemed safe, there may be no immediate need for an upgrade. However, determining this solely through visual inspection of your installation without testing can be challenging. The most reliable method to assess your installation is through an electrical inspection.
Several signs may indicate the necessity for a fuse box upgrade:
– Flickering or dimming lights
– Slight shock when touching appliances
– Sparking or discoloured power outlets
– Burning smell
Safety – An RCD-protected fuse board serves as a vital safety mechanism, engineered to prevent electric shocks. Shockingly, half of the homes in the UK lack this essential safeguard, needlessly exposing occupants to the risks of electrical accidents.
Compliance – Adhere to electrical wiring standards. Numerous homes nationwide possess consumer units that do not meet current electrical regulations. Installing a new fuse board guarantees compliance with contemporary electrical wiring standards.
Home Value and Insurance – Upgrading your consumer unit adds value to your house and makes it easier to resell. Upgrading can also help to lower your insurance premium as you’re taking steps to improve safety and the efficiency of the home.

Rewiring involves replacing all the electrical wiring in your home, including sockets, lights, switches, and the wiring within your walls.
Typically, a home requires rewiring only if the electrical system is outdated, unsafe, malfunctioning, or has sustained water damage. Old or faulty wiring can pose a fire risk and potentially lead to electrocution. Moreover, older wiring may not meet current safety standards or handle your power needs efficiently.

We offer a variety of electrical testing and inspection services for homeowners, including wired fire alarm inspections, PAT testing, and comprehensive electrical inspections, recommended every ten years.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed evaluation of a property’s electrical system, also known as a landlord check or home buyer’s survey. It is advisable for homeowners to obtain an EICR every decade to ensure their electrical installations are safe and functional. During this inspection, we assess the condition of switches, sockets, light fittings, and the fuse box.
