Modern Consumer Units for Enhanced Safety and Compliance
At Landlord Certifications, we specialise in expert fuse box replacement and consumer unit upgrades to keep your property safe and fully compliant. The consumer unit (often called the fuse box) is the heart of your electrical system, distributing power across circuits and providing essential protection against faults. Older boards with re-wirable or cartridge fuses no longer meet current safety expectations and can significantly increase the risk of electric shock or fire.
Our certified electricians install high-quality, metal-clad consumer units with modern RCD/RCBO protection and surge protection devices, fully compliant with the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). Whether you’re upgrading an outdated fuse box or fitting a new consumer unit after an EICR, we make sure your installation meets the latest safety standards and is clearly labelled, giving you and your tenants greater protection, peace of mind and a more resilient electrical system.

Why Upgrading Your Fuse Box is Important
Many properties still rely on outdated fuse boxes that don’t offer the advanced protection found in modern consumer units. These older systems are more likely to fall short when it comes to guarding against electrical faults, which can lead to fires or electric shocks.
Newer consumer units come with key features like residual current devices (RCDs) and circuit breakers, which instantly cut off power when a fault is detected—greatly reducing the risk of accidents.
For landlords, upgrading is not just about improving safety; it’s a legal requirement. Updating your fuse box ensures your property meets the latest electrical standards, keeping both your tenants and your property protected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fuse Box Installation FAQs
If your fuse box is outdated, shows signs of wear, or has old-style fuse wire, it’s time to consider an upgrade. Additionally, if your property has frequent electrical issues or is not compliant with current UK regulations, it’s important to replace your fuse box to enhance safety.
The terms fuse box and consumer unit are often used interchangeably, but a consumer unit is a more modern version of a fuse box. It includes advanced safety features such as RCBOs (Residual Current Breaker with Overload protection), surge protection, and circuit breakers, which are not present in older fuse boxes.
Typically, fuse box installation can take anywhere from 4 to 6 hours, depending on the complexity of the system and the size of the property. We ensure minimal disruption and complete the work as quickly as possible while maintaining the highest safety standards.
Yes, as a landlord, you are required by law to ensure your rental property meets the latest electrical safety regulations. This includes upgrading the fuse box if it is outdated or does not meet the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). Failing to comply could result in fines or legal consequences.
Absolutely! Upgrading your fuse box to a modern consumer unit with advanced safety features such as RCBO protection significantly reduces the risk of electrical faults, fires, and shocks. It ensures your electrical system is secure and meets the latest safety standards.
Fuse box installation should only be carried out by a qualified electrician. Electrical work is highly regulated, and improper installation can be dangerous, void your insurance, and result in fines. Always hire a registered electrician to ensure the work is done safely and meets the required standards.
Part P of the Building Regulations refers to the legal requirement that electrical installations in homes must be safe and properly installed. Any fuse box installation must comply with these regulations, which is why hiring a qualified, NICEIC-registered electrician is essential for ensuring your installation is compliant.
Once your new fuse box is installed, we will perform thorough testing to ensure everything is functioning correctly. We will also provide you with an EICR certificate (Electrical Installation Condition Report) for your records, confirming that your electrical system is safe and compliant.
