Why upgrade an old fusebox?
Older rewireable fuseboxes and small consumer units may not provide the protection expected for modern homes, especially when adding higher-load equipment such as an EV charger. A new consumer unit gives your circuits better fault protection and makes future electrical work simpler.
- Replace old rewireable fuseboxes with metal-clad boards
- Fit RCDs or RCBOs for safer circuit protection
- Check whether a 60A to 100A main switch upgrade is needed
- Prepare your electrical system for a home EV charger
- Fault finding and repairs included where required
Home insurance ready
Modern protective devices help keep work compliant and properly certified.
Less nuisance tripping
Correctly specified circuits help your charger and home electrics behave reliably.
Clear handover
You get testing, certification and a tidy explanation of the work.
FAQs
Do I need a consumer unit upgrade for an EV charger?
Not always, but older boards often need upgrading before a charger can be added safely and neatly.
What is the difference between a fusebox and consumer unit?
People often use both terms. A modern consumer unit contains protective devices that replace older fusebox arrangements.
Can you upgrade from 60A to 100A?
We can assess what is required and advise on the right route if a main switch or supply upgrade is needed.
Is the work certified?
Yes. Electrical work is tested and certification is provided, with Part P notification where required.
