Consumer unit is the heart of your Electrical System in your home.

It usually contains three things, and they are used to control and distribute electricity. They are: The main switch; Fuses and/or circuit breakers; and Residual Current Devices.

A) Main Switch – this allows you to turn off the electricity supply to your home.

B) Residual Current Devices (RCD) these are switches that trip a circuit under dangerous conditions, and instantly disconnect the electricity.

C) Circuit Breakers – these are automatic protection devices in the fusebox that switch off a circuit if they detect a fault. They are similar in size to fuses, but give more precise protection. When they ‘trip’, you can simply reset the switch.

We can install a modern High Integrity Consumer unit from as little as £280. A site visit will need to take place, to check that the earthing and bonding arrangements you have are up to the required standard.
