Consumer Unit Upgrades
Modern fuse box installations for enhanced safety and compliance
Upgrade to a Modern Consumer Unit
Your consumer unit (fuse box) is the heart of your electrical system. If your home has an old-style fuse box with rewirable fuses or lacks modern safety features like RCD protection, it's time for an upgrade.
CP Electrical installs modern consumer units throughout Liverpool and Wirral that meet current BS 7671 regulations. We ensure your home has the latest safety protection with RCDs (residual current devices) and MCBs (miniature circuit breakers) to protect against electric shocks and electrical fires.
