Why might I need a consumer unit upgrade?
As a homeowner in Bristol, you might have spotted signs to indicate it’s time for a consumer unit upgrade. Signs such as frequently tripping circuits, burning smells and scorch marks on the consumer unit could mean you have a fault.
The team at Allied Electrical Services are highly skilled and experienced. Through a visual inspection and the use of testing tools, we can quickly establish whether a consumer unit upgrade is needed.
Upgrading your consumer unit will provide much better safety features as new units include devices such as MCB’s (mini circuit breakers) or RCD’s (residual circuit breakers). These features act quickly to shut off a circuit if the slightest change in current is detected during a power surge or overload.
When should I consider a consumer unit upgrade?
If you notice the signs we’ve mentioned above, give our friendly team a call so we can schedule a visit to your property in Bristol.
Another reason to consider a consumer unit upgrade is if your existing unit is outdated. Older consumer units carry a much greater risk as they might not comply with current safety regulations.
Older consumer units are also associated with greater fire risks as components within the consumer unit may have deteriorated over time and just through general wear and tear.
Older consumer units also lack SPDs or Surge Protection Devices which are designed to protect your electrical appliances from damage during a power surge.
Benefits of a consumer unit upgrade
With the increasing number of electrical gadgets used in modern homes and the incorporation of smart features, a consumer unit upgrade will ensure the electrical installations are well supported and capable of handling the increased power consumption.
If you’re considering future upgrades such as home EV installation, solar panels or under floor heating, Allied Electrical Services recommends a modern consumer unit. Upgrading the unit will ensure modern power demands are better handled leading to better safety and reducing the risk of damage.
By upgrading the consumer unit at your property in Bristol, you’ll be adding value to your property as buyers are looking for safe, modern and compliant electrical systems to support the needs of a modern home.
