Fuse Board Upgrade London & Essex | NICEIC Consumer Unit Installation

Project overview

Premium Electrical Solutions recently completed several consumer unit (fuse board) upgrades across residential properties in London & Essex.

These installations replaced older electrical boards with modern RCBO-protected consumer units, improving safety, compliance, and overall reliability of the electrical system.

Each installation was completed by NICEIC-approved electricians and fully tested to current UK wiring regulations (BS7671).

Why the Fuse Board Needed Upgrading

Many properties still operate using older fuse boards or outdated consumer units that may:

  • Lack modern RCD or RCBO protection

  • Not meet current electrical safety regulations

  • Increase risk of electrical faults or fire hazards

  • Fail electrical inspections (EICR)

These upgrades were required to improve safety standards and future-proof the installations.

The Result

The upgraded systems now provide:

  • Enhanced electrical safety

  • Compliance with current UK regulations

  • Improved reliability

  • Easier future maintenance

  • Peace of mind for homeowners
