Consumer unit installation & fuse box upgrades with APP Electrical in South Wales
Many homes in South Wales still feature older fuse boards with rewirable fuses, wooden backboards, or no RCD (Residual Current Device) protection. While they may still function, they often don’t meet today’s safety standards and present fire and electric shock risks.
As well as making power outages easier to manage with simple trip switches, modern consumer units safely distribute greater electrical capacity throughout homes with ever-increasing power demands from EV chargers, extension projects and growing numbers of appliances.
Whether you need to upgrade from an old, outdated fuse box or you need a reliable consumer unit to sustain greater demand, APP Electrical’s local electricians give you the advice and recommendations you need to power your home for years to come.

If you have an older style fuse box with rewirable fuses, wooden backboards and/or no RCD (Residual Current Device) trip switches, your electrical installation may not meet today’s safety standards. Installation of a modern consumer unit reduces the risk of electric shocks, fire or injury caused by an outdated, non-compliant electrical system.
Installation of an upgraded consumer unit is an important safety improvement to your home, and is often recommended when selling or remortgaging your home where outdated units are presenting a safety risk.
