Consumer Unit Upgrades Kent

Old fuse boards with rewireable fuses or outdated MCBs can be a safety risk and may not meet current regulations. DCC Electrics upgrades consumer units to modern RCBO or RCD-protected boards that offer far better protection against electric shock and fire.

We handle consumer unit upgrades for domestic and commercial properties across Kent, London and the South East, providing full certification and labelling on completion.

Modern consumer units include residual current devices (RCDs) that cut power within milliseconds if a fault is detected, preventing fatal electric shocks. They also feature miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) or residual current breakers with overcurrent protection (RCBOs) that protect individual circuits from overload and short circuits.

A consumer unit upgrade is often the first step before adding new circuits — such as for an EV charger, extension, or loft conversion — because older boards may lack the capacity or protection required. We assess your existing installation, calculate your current and future load, and recommend the right board for your property.

Most domestic upgrades can be completed in a single day. We schedule power shutdown at a convenient time, work efficiently, and test every circuit before restoring power. You receive full certification and a labelled, organised board that is easy to understand and maintain.
