Frequent tripping usually indicates an electrical fault, overloaded circuit or failing protective device. We'll identify the cause and recommend the safest solution.
Older fuseboxes provide significantly less protection than modern consumer units. We replace outdated systems with safer, fully compliant consumer units.
A burning smell or unusually warm fuseboard should never be ignored. We can diagnose the issue quickly and carry out any necessary repairs or replacement.
Adding extensions, electric showers, heat pumps or EV chargers often requires a consumer unit capable of handling additional electrical demand.
If your fuseboard has been highlighted during an EICR as requiring improvement or replacement, we can carry out all necessary upgrade work.
Your fuseboard, also known as a consumer unit, is the heart of your property’s electrical system. It distributes electricity safely throughout your home or business while protecting circuits from overloads, short circuits and electrical faults. If your fuseboard is old, damaged or frequently causing problems, it could be putting your property at unnecessary risk.
At Elite Electrical Services, we provide professional fuseboard upgrades, new consumer unit installations and fuseboard repairs throughout Norfolk, Suffolk and the surrounding areas. Whether you’re renovating a property, extending your home, installing an EV charger or simply replacing an ageing fusebox, we ensure every installation meets the latest BS 7671 Wiring Regulations and is fully tested before completion.
Many older properties still have outdated fuseboards fitted with rewireable fuses or ageing circuit breakers. While these systems may still function, they often lack the modern safety features found in today’s consumer units, including Residual Current Device (RCD) and Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent Protection (RCBO) technology. Upgrading your fuseboard not only improves electrical safety but also provides greater reliability and capacity for modern electrical demands.
If you’re experiencing regularly tripping circuits, flickering lights, overheating electrical components or you’re unsure about the condition of your existing fuseboard, we’re happy to inspect your installation and provide honest advice. Sometimes a repair is all that’s required, while in other cases replacing the entire consumer unit offers the safest and most cost-effective long-term solution.
