Also known as fuse boxes, consumer units play a vital role in a property’s electrical system. They house circuit breakers or fuses that control the safe distribution of electrical power to different areas of your home or premises whilst regulating and protecting against overloads and faults. As electrical contractors in Southport, Ellis Roche replaces older and outdated units with modern electrical installations that meet legal standards. Some of our other electrical services include solar panel installations, electrical maintenance, and EV charger installations.

There are several reasons why this should be done, as we outline below:
Older fuse boxes won’t have the capacity to handle the demands of modern electrical appliances and devices, such as certain solar panel installations or Ellis Roche’s new EV charger installations. This can lead to overloaded circuits, overheating, and electrical fires.
Regulations are continually updated to reflect advances in technology and safety. Outdated consumer units might not comply, leaving you open to insurance issues. Having our electrical contractors upgrade your system, along with full or partial rewiring works, will prevent this.
If you plan to sell your Southport property, a new fuse box can significantly increase its market value. Prospective buyers are more likely to choose a home or commercial premises with a safe and reliable electrical system, saving them the hassle and expense of an upgrade.
As smart technology becomes more prevalent, it often requires advanced electrical installations. Upgraded fuse boxes can accommodate the installation of smart devices and home EV charging systems, making your property more adaptable to the digital age.
Modern consumer units often come with energy-saving features. They can accommodate eco-friendly appliances, solar energy solutions, and new lighting installations, helping you reduce your electricity bills over time.
As reliance on electrical devices and appliances grows, so does the demand for power. Older panels may not have the capacity to meet demand, causing tripped circuits and power outages. We can prevent this, thanks to our electrical maintenance and installation services.
Knowing the electrical system at your Southport property is up to date and in good working condition is priceless. Following any work carried out by our electrical contractors, you won't have to worry about frequent electrical issues, safety hazards, or costly emergency repairs.
