Signs your consumer unit needs upgrading
Regular tripping of circuits
If your circuits trip frequently, it could be a sign that your consumer unit is overloaded and needs upgrading. Overloading can cause damage to the wiring and circuits, leading to electrical hazards.
Age of the consumer unit
To begin with, it is good to know that the average lifespan of a consumer unit is around 20 to 30 years. If your unit is over 20 years old, it may not comply with current building regulations and safety standards. Older consumer units may also lack the capacity to handle the power demands of modern appliances and devices.
Does Your Fuse Box Lacks RCD Protection?
Worn down wiring and unsuitable casing are far from the only reasons why your outdated fuse box may no longer be up to scratch.
Modern consumer units contain a device known as a Residual Current Device. This potentially life-saving technology automatically switches off your electricity at the first sign of a fault, thus offering much-needed protection from electric shocks and electrical fires.
However, it has only been since July 2008 that RCD protection has been required in all new or rewired homes. As such, if your home was built before then and hasn’t had any electrical work done, then there’s a good chance your current fuse box doesn’t have one, making a fuse box upgrade all the more important.
