Fuse Board & Consumer Unit Upgrades in Winchester

Your consumer unit — commonly known as a fuse board — is the heart of your home's electrical system. If your property still has an old-style fuse board with rewirable fuses or lacks RCD (Residual Current Device) protection, upgrading to a modern consumer unit is one of the most important safety improvements you can make.

Modern consumer units provide RCD protection, which can detect electrical faults and cut the power in milliseconds — potentially saving lives. Since 2016, the regulations have required all new consumer units to be made from non-combustible materials (typically metal), adding an extra layer of fire protection.

At Orsidaen Electrical Services, we carry out consumer unit upgrades across Winchester and all surrounding areas. The process typically takes half a day, and we'll test every circuit in your property as part of the installation to ensure everything is safe and compliant.

Whether you're upgrading for safety, because your insurer requires it, or as part of a property sale, we provide a full Electrical Installation Certificate upon completion. As NICEIC Approved Contractors, our work meets the highest industry standards.
