FUSE BOARDS

Your fuse board (consumer unit) is the heart of your property’s electrical system — distributing power safely and protecting your circuits from overloads and faults. At Brightwire Electrical Solutions, we provide expert supply, installation, replacement, and testing of fuse boards that are safe, compliant, and suited to your building’s needs.

Whether you’re upgrading an outdated board, renovating your home, or ensuring compliance with the latest electrical safety standards, our certified electricians deliver reliable solutions you can trust.

What Is a Fuse Board?

A fuse board (often called a consumer unit) is the central control point for your electrical circuits. It:

  • Houses circuit breakers, RCDs (Residual Current Devices), and MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers)

  • Protects circuits from overloads and short circuits

  • Helps prevent electrical fires and hazards

  • Allows safe isolation of circuits for work or maintenance

Modern consumer units are designed to protect you and your property with up-to-date technology and safer fault detection.

Safety & Compliance

Fuse board standards and regulations continue to evolve to improve electrical safety and protection. Upgrading an outdated unit is one of the most effective ways to reduce electrical risk, prevent fire hazards, and enhance protection for people, appliances, and property.

Key Safety Features We Offer

  • RCD / RCBO protection — safer and more reliable protection than old-style fuses

  • SPD (Surge Protection Devices) — Protects your electrical system and valuable appliances from voltage spikes caused by lightning strikes, grid switching, or power surges. An SPD helps prevent costly damage to TVs, computers, boilers, and smart home systems.

  • Segregated circuits — reduces nuisance trips and improves safety

  • Clear labelling — easy identification of circuits

  • Modern consumer units built to current BS 7671 wiring regulations

Every installation is completed to the latest standards and tested for compliance, performance, and peace of mind.
