Your Fuse Board
Is Telling You Something

A consumer unit upgrade is usually a one-day job with no major disruption. It's one of the most cost-effective ways to bring your home's electrics up to standard — and it comes with full certification on completion.

What Is a Consumer
Unit Upgrade?

Your consumer unit — also called a fuse board or fuse box — is the hub that controls and protects every electrical circuit in your home. Older units use simple fuses that offer little real protection. Modern consumer units use circuit breakers and RCD (Residual Current Device) protection, which cuts power instantly if a fault is detected — protecting both your home and everyone in it.

Most upgrades are completed in a single day. The power is off for a few hours while the new board is fitted, tested, and certified. You're left with a fully compliant, documented installation — acceptable to insurers, conveyancers, and building control.

Everything Included.
No Extras.

"Insurer flagged our old fuse board and said it needed upgrading before they'd renew. NorthWire sorted it the same week — fixed price, done in a day, certificate straight to my inbox. Exactly what we needed."

Mark D. — Corstorphine, Edinburgh
★★★★★

"Breakers kept tripping whenever we used the oven and kettle at the same time. New board fitted, problem completely gone. The electrician was tidy, professional, and had it done by lunchtime."

Fiona H. — Stockbridge, Edinburgh
★★★★★

"Needed the consumer unit upgraded before the house sale could go through. Fast turnaround, all the paperwork sorted, and the buyers' solicitors were happy. Took the stress right out of it."
