Consumer Unit Upgrades
In the UK many homes are still equipped with an old-style fuse box. We strongly recommend that you upgrade your fuse box for a new style consumer unit. This will provide better electrical safety to your property but more importantly, your family or tenants. A consumer unit will also ensure your home is up to the current standards of the electrical regulations.
In January 2015, IEE Wiring Regulations (BS7671) Amendment 3 will be published. A major change in Amendment 3 concerns consumer units, the term for a modern-day domestic fuse box. New regulation 401.1.201 will state that in domestic environments, consumer units and similar switchgear must be constructed from non-combustible material. Unless fully qualified, please don't attempt to upgrade your fuse box yourself or have a rogue trader do it for you, trust me, it's just not worth the proposed risks or your family's safety.
