CONSUMER UNIT UPGRADES
MODERN FUSE BOX REPLACEMENTS FOR YOUR HOME
Your consumer unit distributes electricity between the different circuits around your property and contains important protective equipment. We replace older fuse boxes and outdated consumer units in homes throughout Bangor and North Down, with each upgrade considered alongside the condition of the existing electrical installation.
PROFESSIONAL CONSUMER UNIT REPLACEMENT
Replacing a consumer unit involves more than removing an old box and installing a new one. The circuits connected to it need to be considered so that existing faults or problems aren't overlooked when the new equipment is fitted.
North Down Electrics assesses the existing installation as part of the process, installs suitable modern equipment and completes the necessary electrical testing once the upgrade has been carried out.
EXISTING ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Before replacing the consumer unit, the existing electrics need to be considered. This can help identify faults or other issues requiring attention before or alongside the upgrade.
MODERN ELECTRICAL PROTECTION
Older fuse boxes can lack the types of protection available from modern consumer units. We install suitable equipment based on the requirements of the property and its existing circuits.
TESTING & CERTIFICATION
Once installed, the relevant electrical testing is completed and the work appropriately certified, giving you documentation for the consumer unit upgrade.
CONSUMER UNIT UPGRADES FROM A LOCAL BANGOR ELECTRICIAN
An older fuse box doesn't automatically mean that your home requires immediate replacement. The type and condition of the equipment, the protection provided and the wider electrical installation all need to be considered before deciding what work is appropriate.
North Down Electrics provides straightforward advice rather than treating every older consumer unit in the same way. If an upgrade is recommended, we'll explain what is required and complete the installation with the same attention to safety, tidiness and finished appearance that we bring to our other domestic electrical work.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
CONSUMER UNIT UPGRADE FAQs
Common questions from homeowners considering a consumer unit or fuse box replacement in Bangor.
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY CONSUMER UNIT NEEDS UPGRADING?
The age of the consumer unit alone doesn't determine whether it needs replacing. Its condition, the protection it provides and the condition of the wider electrical installation should all be considered. We can assess the existing setup and advise whether an upgrade is appropriate.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FUSE BOX AND A CONSUMER UNIT?
Homeowners often use the terms interchangeably. Traditional fuse boxes and modern consumer units can contain different types of protective equipment. If you're unsure what you currently have, we can inspect it and explain the options.
DOES MY WIRING NEED TO BE TESTED BEFORE THE CONSUMER UNIT IS REPLACED?
The existing electrical installation and circuits need to be considered as part of the upgrade. Testing can identify faults or problems that may need attention before or alongside the new consumer unit.
WILL A NEW CONSUMER UNIT STOP MY ELECTRICS FROM TRIPPING?
Not necessarily. Repeated tripping can indicate a fault elsewhere in the electrical installation or with connected equipment. The cause should be properly investigated rather than assuming replacing the consumer unit will solve it.
WILL I RECEIVE CERTIFICATION FOR MY NEW CONSUMER UNIT?
Yes. The completed work is appropriately inspected and tested, with the relevant electrical certification provided for the installation.
DO YOU REPLACE FUSE BOXES THROUGHOUT BANGOR AND NORTH DOWN?
Yes. North Down Electrics is based in Bangor and provides consumer unit upgrades throughout Bangor and surrounding North Down communities.
