Consumer Units

Often referred to as a fuse board or fuse box, at ACS we know them as consumer units. You can think of them as the electrical heart of your home. As such they deserve attention and understanding. When carefully and correctly installed, they provide all manner of vital safety features. In the event of a fault, they protect you and your family from electric shock and potentially your home safe from fire.

Is it time for a check up?
We recommend 10 years for domestic houses, or every 5 if rented. If you’ve just moved in, we can come and do the electricians version of a doctors check-up for you. See our EICR section of the website. Essentially we will thoroughly check your electrical system and ensure it is safe for you and your family.

We will never suggest work for no good reason as the result of a check up.
ACS will always be happy to give you free advice as to any recommended upgrades now available. Electrical safety is our passion and modern advances have many benefits over older systems. If we do find anything untoward or dangerous will notify you immediately, with a clear explanation. If needed, a cost to rectify.

Modern boards that are up to date with the latest regulations include clever features such as surge protective devices. As our homes contain more and more expensive electrical equipment, these little devices act as gatekeepers. They protect our investments from potentially damaging electrical surges that occur in the networks.  RCBO’s offer individual circuit fault and accidental fault protection to a much greater degree than their predecessors. If you were to hang a picture and accidentally nail through a wire, you’ll be glad if you have had them installed!

Free advice for your peace of mind?
Please get in touch if you have any concerns. We will give free advice, about the cost of upgrading your equipment to meet the latest standard of safety and regulations. Installed with care to the high standard of workmanship that ACS offer.
