Why Upgrade Your Fuse Box?
Modern consumer units (fuse boxes) include RCD (Residual Current Device) protection, which automatically cuts power if a fault is detected. This can save lives in cases of electric shock and prevent electrical fires.
If your fuse box is over 25 years old, uses rewirable fuses, or doesn't have RCD protection, it's time for an upgrade. Building regulations now require RCD protection for all new electrical installations.
